We see things through light transfer, reflection etc with our eyes. The stars we see are so far away that we are looking at them from the past. If we can travel faster than light we can can surpass what we can see and essentially time travel.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't open the doors for things like going BACK in time.. I really don't think that is even possible.. but being able to view things before we can see them would be quite impressive.
novice here as well but that's the way i understand it too. but it would be a way to "go back"

if a point in space is say, 20 light years away from you, and you could can send some apparatus to that point in 10 years, it'd start seeing the light from 10 years ago and up

.......i think
