While I think the concept is nice, and it is true that the equations used in physics could care less if t is + or -...reality dictates that reactions FOLLOW actions, making the universe flow in one direction only, right? If a positron was an electron moving backwards in time, would it not be absorbed in beta decay, rather than emitted?
