Time could run backwards in parallel universe

Scientists have put forward a new model in support of the idea that
time can run in both directions.
The idea that there could exist an almost limitless number of parallel
universes is nothing new, but what if some of those alternative
universes were actually running in reverse ?
The concept of a backwards running universe has been around for some
time, but now researchers from California and Massachusetts have come
up with a new theory indicating that this bizarre phenomenon could
arise based on much simpler principles that had been previously
suggested.
Key to this idea is the assertion that the direction in which time
flows doesn't actually matter because it would still ultimately behave
in accordance with the known laws of physics. We take our concept of
time - one that flows forwards - for granted, but that doesn't mean it
can't go backwards too.
What this means is that there could exist a parallel universe where all
the events that happened in the past from our perspective will actually
be set to occur in the future.
How this would work from a practical point of view however remains
unclear - would dead people spring back to life, become progressively
younger, turn in to babies and then be "unborn" ?
While we are unlikely to ever experience such a universe ourselves, the
possibilities of what it might be like certainly represent an
interesting and mind-boggling thought exercise. - See more at:
