It appears that the truth is a little bit stranger - in an antimatter system, which is also a mirror image, time runs backward in relation to us. Actually the correct statement would be that if all the matter were replaced by antimatter, and everything were made mirror image of, and time was made to run backwards, the universe then would evolve exactly as it will otherwise.
The concept is called "CPT Symmetry". There is an interesting article on Wikipedia on this...

It depends on the kind of time you're talking about. If you replace all the particles in a system with their antiparticles, take its mirror image, and reverse the direction of time, the two systems behave the same way, but in reverse. This is related to microscopic time, however. This is generally thought to have nothing to do with thermodynamic time, which has more to do with the initial conditions and statistics of a large (macroscopic) system with many particles. I'm not sure I buy it, thought. I think it may be related.

No.
You are assuming time is part of the relationship of anti-matter to matter. Time is entropic. Anti-matter would have the same entropic characteristics as matter would. Time would still pass in the same direction. Anti-time doesn't exist. In an anti-matter system the difference with matter is the nature of the particles themselves.

God created the human race and guy created divisions in accordance with epidermis shade. God's advent has a planned order and is obvious in His be conscious and His layout of the human physique. gay intercourse is a right away violation of that order and guy does not have any "proper" to redefine God's advent any further than he had the perfect to redefine guy's value in accordance with race. Your reasoning on it fairly is extremely unsuitable. Your "Anti-gays.." opener is waay too presumptuous. i'm no longer approximately to close out some very useful people from my life that God has placed there considering the fact which you assert i'm against them. They themselves could confront you extraordinarily rapidly. you weren't there whilst memories have been shared and tears have been cried and you're, extremely frankly, out of line. Your stance jogs my memory of a community activist that accused a guy of being "anti-AIDS" ....as though we ought to consistently all be for it!!

nope. Time isnt affected that way by matter.
its easier to think of it as a relative dimension, which operates apart from the other 3 dimensions but alongside.

No - time and matter aren't related in that way.
And the answerer above me is absolutely right - too complicated for me to explain.

No... Now actually read this answer, because for some reason people don't like to listen when I define time.
TIME = OBSERVATION OF CHANGE

Time can't run backward.

No, time is the same. The only thing different is the charge on the electrons and protons is reversed.
