So, for the physics majors on GFY, a couple questions. Why does something that can travel faster than the speed of light mean that time travel may be possible? What will this do to the study of physics?
first off there is no 'time'. time is the same a 'mile' in that is is not a natural occurrence only a device which men use to measure certain aspects of reality. going back in time using faster than light speeds would meant this in practice: seeing a Galaxy explode, because as you move closer you will be seeing the event earlier in time. it's not about meeting your mom in HS
