      …but would they even notice, if their perception is reversed as well? We could be the backwards side for all we know.

      Backwardsians be like “jeez 13.8 billion years later… Duh-doy!”

      Not to be that guy, but when the numbers don’t add up in current physics it seems like you can just make any old conjecture about how things fit together nowadays. This is like, the fourth wild and crazy theoretical explanation I’ve seen for why dark matter isn’t a thing like we predicted and also tries to explain our lack of symmetry. Gotta say, this one isn’t as convincing. A binary symmetry that we can never experimentally test for just feels way too simple given the complexity we already see in the universe.

      i’m sorry, but this really does sound more like a rick & morty plotline than actual science.

      Or maybe they are the real reality and we are living in the simulacrum.

      It really makes no sense. Yes, the universe could be mirrored on the other side of the Big Bang, but that time is moving backwards? The Big Bang was the beginning of our universe.

      This is basically saying the Big Bang is the end of another universe that is exactly like ours but moving backwards through time? It seems to contradict entropy and the arrow of time. Cause and effect. Not my favourite theory to be honest.

      At least in our universe, you get a heads-up when diarrhea is coming.

      If the Big Bang is the beginning, but the other universe moves backwards in time, where does it move to ? If it moves backwards from the beginning?

      So, wait. In that universe Kris Kross is wearing their clothes correctly?

      Just so there is no confusion, this doesn’t mean that causality happens in reverse from their perspective. It means the flow of time is happening in the opposite direction, but they would still be flowing down their river of time the same way we flow down ours. Our entropy grows at +t, while their entropy grows at -t.

      There was a Star Trek episode about this in the old animated series. The mirror universe had people born old, aged backwards, then died young, and everything worked backwards from how we perceived it.

      The implication of all that would logically be that people were “born” from decayed remains, then “died” by crawling into their mother’s vaginas. So I’m not sure if the writers really thought it all the way through.

      Years ago I thought about this. I was like: what happened before the concept of TIME itself existed?

      So, … am I a smart? Do I have the smarts? I have many intelligences.

      P.S.: who’s to say we’re not the ones in reverse time continuum?

    17. Visible_Iron_5612 on

      Another theory is time doesn’t exist…
      Light doesn’t experience time…
      the speed of light is one of the only constants in the universe…
      everything is made of light and can be converted back to light and light takes every single possible path, to find the most efficient one…
      I promise this will make more sense on DMT..
      :p

      This is only because our concept of time relies on movement through space. The Big Bang wasn’t the beginning of time, it was the beginning of the expansion of our universe. However we have been thinking that everything must move forward in space towards our location. This doesn’t factor in the possibility that the Big Bang occurred in open space and expands outwards from that point in every direction, not just one direction. They don’t experience time in reverse. If another planet was the same distance from the Big Bang in the opposite side they’d still experience time the same way and would be looking “back through time” across space to the same beginning point.

      This theory isn’t really new. Julian Barbour published The Janus Point: A New Theory of Time in 2020. Perhaps Neil Turok and his colleagues fleshed out the idea and worked out implications of the theory that could be experimentally tested – but I find it strange that this idea is being promoted as ‘new’ without any reference to Julian Barbour or his work.

      I am happy to be on this side of the Big Bang. Defecating in reverse doesn’t sound too appealing…

    22. BigPPZrUs on

      I was once pretty high and was explaining this exact thing to my wife while sounding like a crazy. Yeah, with your perception only being backwards it would feel just like this current reality. I’ve heard Terrance McKenna talk about is being pulled towards something, and we all know what that is by now.

    23. ApprehensiveStand456 on

      I was jokingly thinking about this to myself the other day. I was listening to the Cool Worlds podcast and they were talking about different ends of the universe. I was wondering if expansion stops and everything starts collapsing back into a singularity then would that in theory mean that time is moving in reverse?

    24. Cuboidhamson on

      Nah, it’s not in reverse, it’s the next cycle. That’ll probably be evidenced in the next century.
