Now I want to ask a question.

The curves of space-time caused by gravity result in time dilation. So beyond the event horizon of black holes, time is said to be so dilated that it completely 'freezes'.
Now lets just assume that somehow we are able to warp space-time so much that it goes into 'negative warp' or time is dilated to such an extent that it flows backwards and space-time is folded over itself. Now if this occurs, distance is folded over itself, does this mean that if a massless particle was moving with a velocity v, crosses from a 'positive warp' to a 'negative warp', its direction of motion would change because distance in inverted ?!
