Although equations of physics do not prohibit the backward arrow of time but the movement is arrested by the law of entropy...which makes the backward movement of time less likely but it is not totally ruled out. Apart from Entropy is there any other reason for why time can not run backwards?

I guess this question different from other questions as it is not about time travel.Here I interested in knowing whether it is possible to run the history of Universe backwards...i.e. Is absolute backward time movement possible? For example is it possible to reach big bang and before, if there is any, if time starts moving backwards now? I guess one consequence of such a movement will be vanishing of time itself as it reaches plank's region of quantum physics.

If it does we will never know. Our perception of time passing is based on known past and unknown future. We exist in that instant between the two. We're events being reversed, we would loose events but still recall prior events and still have an unknown future. Our perspective is what gives time direction and as scientists are beginning to realize, our perspective is vastly different from actual reality.
