There is less difficulty — indeed, no logical difficulty at all — in imagining two portions of the universe, say two galaxies, in which times goes one way in one galaxy and the opposite way in the other … Intelligent beings in each galaxy would regard their own time as “forward” and time in the other galaxy as “backward.”
