This whole anti-matter travels backward in time is a little confusing to me.
  After all, can't you hold anti-matter? If we are holding a container of
anti-matter, and of course we are traveling forward in time, wouldn't the
anti-matter disappear into the past? If not how can you say anti-matter
travels backward in time?

My perception of time is an infinite amount of "NOWs". The reason we 'seem'
to be going forward in time is because we are remembering what happened
first. We remember events in order. I'm not sure if I'm being clear here
or not. It's real hard to word.

Perhaps you are talking about some other type of time?

Can some please help this physics layman to understand what is meant by the
word "time" as applied to physics?
