negative frequencies has nothing to do with inverted phase. it means 
that the signal is going its way back. but of course the time continuum 
will not be affected. this can happen at any amplitude of the signal, 
therefore it doesn't invert the phase.

negative frequencies do occur with large amount of fm. imaginge the 
frequency of an osc with 1kHz is modulated by another osc. if the 
amount of modulation is increased there is a point when the frequency 
is modulated between 0kHz and 2 khZ. if you increase the modulation 
further the frequency finally goes to negative. thru-zero fm just means 
that an osc can handle this.
