Take note that as time goes backward, our minds are also taken backwards into time.
And if we don't notice it, how are we sure that time has not reversed itself?

Just to add some details: The laws of classical dynamics and quantum mechanics, the former being deterministic and the latter probabilistic, are time-reversible. It means that even if time flowed backwards(in the sense of backwards that we usually imagine), the laws of physics will hold and there would be NO violation at all. So technically speaking both the time-forward and time-backward paths are physically POSSIBLE. It is just this so-called "second law of thermodynamics" that gives a sense of time flowing forward.

time is a thing. it has a beginning and an ending. the ending has already happened. we are just sliding along on this timeline of time, weth our narrow perception of life through the illusion that is created by being within time. so no, we wudnt notice. because wherever, and which direction u move the slider, we still have a narrow perception of reality that only allows us to see and live in that moment: past and future cut off ♥

Time is an intangible concept that we use to relate to the constructs of events passing it can not truly be perceived. we do not notice it flowing forward or backwards because it doesn't flow at all. Time does not exist ergo there is no traversing it no matter what direction you assume it to travel. Or consider this how do you know that time isn't already moving backwards and that is the natural order of things. Wouldn't that explain the phenomena of deja vu or the past repeating itself. However that was purely a hypothetical I stick to my former statement the later was merely for your enjoyment.

No matter which way time is flowing, we would feel it as moving into the unknown future unless events begin to repeat in the reverse order of how we remember them. As long as the coming event is unknown and uncertain, we would only know the time as moving forward. This is why we get a jolt when a past event in our memory seems to happen all over again... you know what I mean!!

to respond to your question, talking metaphorically, you does not word it in any respect. to be waiting to word it you are able to desire to have a concept yet that concept never looks because of the fact it won't exist in time. this is going to consistently disappear. yet from a scientific attitude there is not any such element because of the fact time does not circulate. As Kozzm0 stated, we are only measuring one exchange as against yet another and calling it 'time'. we actually do not comprehend what 'time' is. to illustrate the belief of the 'black hollow' the place on the so stated as 'experience horizon' time stops because of the fact gentle can't get away it. So for all useful purposes the difficulty that falls into it disappears from our Universe. variety of what supposedly got here approximately on the 'vast Bang' 2d whilst our Universe, (all count, area and time) began. Scientists have not have been given any clue what got here approximately or what takes place to count interior the 'black hollow'. There are theories of path. i think of quite there is not something yet 'now' and that each thing is changing interior this 'now'. thank you for an exciting question.

If time was flowing backwards, would we not notice that things were not decaying, or that the seasons were not progressing forward, or that the position of the stars and planets were regressing?

I guess you mean time as measured by clocks and calendars. They’re many theories about time or the non-existence of time. I tend to believe that time is invented by humans; just an other confinement in which where we spend our time expecting the inevitable…

as time goes forward, our minds are taken forward into time..
Still, we notice that we are getting older and we are sure that time moves forward....
The same logic applies to your question...
We are sure going to notice that we are getting younger and that time moves in reverse......

Because I'm not getting any younger.
