Seems the older I get the faster time goes by.

Is there a way to make a clock run backwards ?

I think that will be my next project.

Some clocks can be made to run backwards.

Unfortunately, your biological clock isn't one of them.

Get married to a very talkative woman.

It may not make time go backwards but there will be many many days where it will feel as though it stopped.

Believe me its a true and well documented phenomenon expeianced by millions of men every single day.

Time certainly does go much faster with each birthday. As a child sitting in a classroom I observed that the clock moved as fast as a calendar. Now as my hair turns gray I find the calendar spinning like a second hand.

I have built a few backward clocks. The movement can be bought real cheap from http://www.klockit.com

If you do make that your next project, how about posting a picture of it for us to see.

Certainly you can backward a clock, But do you think that can reverse color of your hair from gray to black/brown?

Doesn't that doomsday clock from the 60s run backward ?

According to earlier reports, KrisDel™ has been working on a time machine. An update would be good.
