I mean it is linear in the way that Event A is Followed by Even B which is Followed by Event C ... ad infinitum. The human mind thinks of those events or arranges those events in a hypothetical timeline, but that doesn't mean someone can't say time flows forward in this universe.

I mention entropy because for something that goes backwards in time then laws of Physics in this universe also have to be reversed. You put an ice cube in a glass of water, what happens? It melts. If you where in a time machine traveling back in time and had a glass of water near your control console then ice would start forming in your glass of water thus violating the Second law of thermodynamics, that's why I mentioned it.
