If my electric meter runs backwards, will the power company owe me
money? After the reversal will the off switch become the on switch?

No, but when you switch off the lights, it will be even darker than
usual, due to the vacuum.

Actually, I think not. If you consider that those things which we screw
into sockets in order to see during times when it's dark are dark suckers
(really - the more powerful ones can suck dark from further out!), when all
is reversed, we'll be able to get some sleep during the daytime by turning
them on, as they'll blow dark, rather than suck it...

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a
clear night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize
that you are quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to
you that in the general scheme of things you are merely an
insignificant speck on the surface of the ocean; and are not nearly
so important or as self-sufficient as you thought you were. Which is
an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one that may effect a
permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly appreciated
by your friends." - James S. Pitkin
