Maybe travelling backwards can reverse it? Could have profound implications on how far back time travel is possible.

Well, you might expect that you would age more quickly if going further forward in time.

Blast from the past that one. Must be very late 90's internet phenomenon. I remember being interested by that whole story.
I have this theory that the past present and future all exist at once. Only problem is our consciousness can only access it in a specific sequence one "moment" at a time. An unworldly being may be able to view our universe with all its space, matter and events from beginning to end kind of like browsing on the internet
As for whether time travel is possible there is nothing in the laws of physics that prevents it.
So what if we built a "time machine" maybe something similar to a particle accelerator (lets say a circular tube about the size of the MCG) but instead of particles we propel a person in a capsule around the tube faster than the speed of light. If we are able to overcome Einsteins theory about mass becoming infinite at the speed of light in theory time should then run backwards for that person.Then what would happen to the time machine if it didnt exist at that point in the past the person travelled to? I reckon it would possibly explode like my brain is about to just thinking about all this

There is a novel by Stephen Baxter that pretty much covers that arc.

Cheers dude! That looks really cool.
I haven't really dived into any modern Sci Fi authors. Was a huge fan of Arthur C. Clarke in my youth though, will chuck this on the reading list
