Reversing the Momentum of the Earth
Reversing the momentum of every object and evolving it forward in time is the same gives you the same kind of answer as just evolving backward in time.

If you retrodict the past, without a past hypothesis, you predict the opposite of that, which is, you predict radiation flowing from the sun into the past.
