What would happen if time were to go backwards?

Question

Would we remember the future and predict the past?

Would murderers save lives and would babies result in marriage of their parents?

Answer 1

then work would be enjoyable and sleep would be a chore. water would run uphill, rain would rise from the ground. Yellow leaves would leap off the ground and attach themselved to trees

Answer 2

If time went backwards, we would consider that as going forward..... currently what we think as future would still be time to come and what is past would still be time already gone....... the cause and effect would also happen the other way around which then would mean no difference at all.... whichever direction time flows will determine the coming of unpredictable tomorrow and effects being caused..... really nothing would change at all.... in other words time can only move forward because whichever direction it moves would be the forward or future time.

Well, my head is spinning backwards due to your such an imaginative question!!!

Answer 3

from a purely conceptional idea, if time flows backwards, at any given point in the stream of time, you would only know what had happened in the portion that was still yet to be erased,

just as you only know what has happened.

the experience would be the same, the events would be already played out.

time flow, forward or back is set in stone, you can not alter it, as you would want.

knowing the past does not alter the future.

I hope you understand what i'm explaining here. it really is a bummer to think that you can't save those you love, those whose loss devistates you without mercy.

Answer 4

I would answer you, but you haven't asked the question yet ...

(That's what would happen)

There is a play you may want to try to see ... "The last five years"
The Last Five Years is a contemporary song-cycle musical that ingeniously chronicles the five-year life of a relationship, from meeting to break-up... or from break-up to meeting, depending on how you look at it. Writer Jason Robert Brown employs an UNUSUAL TEMPORAL SHIFT to tell the intensely personal story of Cathy, a struggling musical theatre performer and Jamie, an up-and-coming writer. Her side of the story BEGINS FROM THE END of their relationship, while his is told FROM THE BEGINNING. Even more unusually, the two characters only interact at middle point of the one-act piece, when the characters marry.

Answer 5

that is an absolute impossibility.... If it even could possibly happen... than we would do all we already did backwards... like running the reverse on a VCR! Otherwise it would not be going backwards...! Plus, no one would be actually perceiving it.. as the mind would also be working in the same way! For all you know it could have happened several times in our lives and we just have no means of knowing it!

Answer 6

Everything would turn out different because we would know what will happen. So thus our past changes as the future goes back to the present.

Answer 7

Honestly?? If we stop fearing the future and go back/rewind into the past, we arrive in the present and remember who we are.

Answer 8

Nope. Everything would go backwards. EVERYTHING!

We'd undo mistakes, upchuck food back to the fork, spoon, chopstick, whatever.

Get dirty after unshowering. Unage back to fetal status.

EWW! We'd even uncontrollably re-insert our discharged potty waste. Everything begins with un...

Answer 9

i'd live for bloody ever from all that unsmoking I'd be doing.

i'd also have me some fun to look forward to and enough cash to last until the 'start of the world' after unspending my life earnings just in time for my teenage years

Answer 10

We'd collide with our past selves and BAM!! everything ends. Have a nice day.
