For every burst of sound, there must exist a sound that bursts in 
reverse, according to the theory of time reversal acoustics. From 
their discoveries of some surprising characteristics of mediums and 
frequencies, scientists have gained insight into acoustic time 
reversal, which could impact applications such as sending 
confidential messages in cryptography.

   A Break for Code Breakers on a C.I.A. Mystery

   By KENNETH CHANG

   For nearly 16 years, puzzle enthusiasts have labored to decipher an
   865-character coded message stenciled into a sculpture on the
   grounds of the Central Intelligence Agency's headquarters in
   Langley, Va. This week, the sculptor gave them an unsettling but
   hopeful surprise: part of the message they thought they had
   deciphered years ago actually says something else.
