In theory, as a particle approaches the speed of light, we would see its 'clock' slow down. Once it exceeds the speed of light, its clock would, theoretically, seem in reverse from our point of view. From the particle's point of view, our clock would seem to reverse

How does time work?

For centuries, time was regarded as a constant, independent force, as if the Universe's progress is governed by a single clock.
