Thread: Traveling to the past

Say a few thousand years in the future their are space ships that have some technology that allows them to go faster than light. As they accelerate faster and faster and time gets slower and longer, is it possible that the spaceship reaches a certain point where time stops and then it starts going into the past, i.e. -1 seconds, -2 seconds etc? Is this totally wrong or is it a possibility?And if this is possible if they do travel into the past they would be in a (theoretically speaking) parallel universe because if they go back into the past they would not be born yet and they could not exist and the technology was never their and the machine was not yet built. Maybe all I have said above is nonsense and the universe just does not allow you to travel at all. :surprised

Nothing will ever be faster than light and time has only one direction.
