A century ago, film comedian Charlie Chaplin was using movie trickery to convince viewers he had almost uncanny timing. In his short comedies, he’d catch a brick without seeing it or miss getting hit in the head by a hammer even though he had ** idea it was hidden on the other side of a door

The fact is, though we think we can always tell when a video is being played backwards, we can’t, but Computers may be a**ther story. Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Tech**logy (MIT) are **w teaching Computers to use life’s little physical dynamic queues to tell the difference between video running forward and reverse.
