Time would go backwards and so would your life. When you got back to the beginning of your life, time would then move forward at a normal pace till you reach that backwards stage, then you slowly go backwards getting younger each time enjoying life over and over again! Could you live like this?

Let's say when you go backwards, you are able to talk normal and do things normal, only in reverse! You automatically learn everything over again as you move forward. Its kinda like reincarnation in reverse.

Your thoughts would be backwards also, therefore you wouldn't notice time going backwards.

Time doesn't go backwards.
How do we know? Because it would violate the principle of entropy, the famous Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Water flows downhill. If time went backwards, the water has to flow uphill. That can't happen.
Suppose you had a deck of cards, all neatly organized in suits. Then you spewed the cards all over the floor (the well-known chumps' game called 52-pick-up). If time ran backwards, all the randomly spread cards would have to fly back up against gravity and organize themselves spontaneously into neat order again. That's not going to happen.
Time doesn't run backwards, except in the movies.

Time technically can't go backwards since time is something that man has created. So even disregarding that if you did and had never experienced "forward living" then you would feel you were going in a forward linear motion. Of course biologically this offers a couple problems nothing like all your bones shrinking when you hit 12 - 13 ish.

Interesting? Would you know what all ready happened in your life? Or in reverse time you would know the future? In a way you could say that if everyone knew the future then they would try to change it to better themselves, right? So we would never really follow a linear path backwards through time. We would be in some tangent of a time in the past that hasn't happened yet.
Or, we fundamentally can't change the past with our knowledge of the future and we are caught is the meaning of destiny and purpose. A good Paradox!

Very interesting? If I want move on that planet then in the moment I stepped on it I would instantly get off and back to where I came from. Don't you think so. But if I was living there then maybe I will actually want to live on a planet where the time was going "back"(from my point of view), which is actually "forward" to me in reality! So maybe we are living on that kind of planet, because we can't be sure of the direction of time!!!

How would you plan anything? If I'm standing out in the cold, I'd be wishing I'd checked before hand and brought a coat. That is, assuming I could even think linearly in a backwards time frame.

I don't think I could live like that. You would forget how to talk, eat, and other normal things when you are reaching age 0 , just to re-learn them a few years later?

all human logic would be reversed too, i even can't imagine how life would be if time moves backwards, it's just like being killed before u are born:)

I guess I'd have to die in order to make it there then!
