The really weird thing about time itself is one cannot know which direction time actually flows; we think it flows forward - past to future, but there is no way to know if the opposite is really the true direction - future to past. There was a sci-fi book decades ago that explored this theory.

At the macroscopic level, entropy increases; statistically.

At the level of a single quantum mechanical state-to-state conversion, time reversal invariable holds.
