Since Bearden mentioned negative time quite a bit I've been dwelling on what he meant. Correct me if I'm wrong. In conventional physics positive time is considered as every thing moving towards Entropy; i.e., Death. To me Bearden says, and I agree, negative time would be every thing moving towards Syntropy; i.e., Life. It would seem these two states interchange rhythmically with each other aka Russell's concept of rhythmic balanced interchange. [DP]
