Wouldn't the only negative values in time be those before the Big Bang?
You don't display what you're talking about, but picking any old arbitrary time as the "predetermined point," say 4:57, the time displaying on my screen as I type this, wouldn't 15 minutes ago be 4:42, before that 4:27, and so forth. I.e., they're not "negative time values," they're just earlier time values.
