Existence of a dense wave front in every convex billiard

Let a convex billiard table be a convex planar domain, and let Wt(P)W_t(P) denote the billiard wave front at time tt from a point PP in the table. The wave front becomes dense if it eventually intersects every open subset of the billiard table. Convex-billiard existence conjecture. For all convex billiard tables, there is a point PP such that the wave front Wt(P)W_t(P) becomes dense. This is presented as a further plausible statement beyond generic density and is not known in the source.
