Reverse time theory is an alternate interpretation of cosmology proposed by Amazon resident Dr. Neil Grant . Grant and his team of about 20 philosophical students were doing a study of natural philosophy in the jungles of Brazil. Some accident in the movement of trees and an accompanying simple arithmetic equation provoked their thinking.
What if fate exists, but time has reversed itself and is flowing backwards? What we perceive is not necessarily accurate, yet in backwards time motion, that means what we perceive is actually the opposite of what a truly objective oserver would witness. This theory has meaning only in the absence of relativity (see non-standard cosmology).
Fate usually refers to pre-determinism, the belief that everything is decided before all of us are born. Some suggest that all humans have fate controlling them, and are in no position of changing their fate. Yet the question is whether fate is on a linear timeline; that is to say, not only the past, but also the future, has a linear pattern, but not the branch of divisions.
Human perception makes it that we perceive what is going to happen as future, and what has happened as past. Yet perception, argued by various philosophers, is far from the truth. Therefore, both linear patterns may be able to represent any point of a timeline, therefore time can, theoretically, be reversed without us perceiving.
Imagine that we represent time by a strip of film running through a movie projector. Now is represented by the particular frame that is in the gate of the projector.
Now think of it from the point of view of a being in the scene we are projecting. Now let's run the film backwards. The guy in the film doesn't notice any change, because as time runs backwards, so does he. Now turn the light on in all the frames at once. Again, the guy in the film doesn't notice any difference at all. Time still flows for him as it always has.
Now the film is no longer going through a projector, so put a branch in it. The guy in the film doesn't see it as a branch, because he's in the film. He just sees whatever frame he's in. After a branch, there are two of him, one in each frame, each seeing a different result and with no way of ever knowing whether or not the other "him" is there at all in the other frame or what he sees there. If we consistently put in branches at some sort of decision, his physics will now contain uncertainty with respect to those decisions, exactly as ours does.
