Dear YBM,
As I read you, you seam to be a rare relativist who knows what he is
talking about.
Indeed there are negative time intervals because measuring a time
interval from today to seven days ago implies minus seven days from
today.
Please allow me to openly put you to the test, because I am under the
impression that relativists have pathologically altered minds, and no
offence is meant here, only science.

The test: If you received one newspaper every day in the last seven
days, please use equations to answer:
1- What is the frequency of newspaper delivery during dt = -7days?
2- What is the time interval assigned for each delivery during the dt
= -7days?
****
I think that by answering those two simple questions we can clear up
many things and avoid a lot of misunderstanding.

Kind regards.
