Can time (as an answer) ever be negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes if you take a reference time say 2:00 pm is your reference, 2hrs before tht can be -2 hrs :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it all with respect to reference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Exactly like position is with respect to a reference.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

some say that time can be negative is one were to go faster than the speed of light

@Orbitalshawn It's not that time itself is negative under the correct conditions in special relativity, it's rather that time intervals can be negative, or in simpler terms that events can be reversed depending on your reference frame.
