Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum because i know very little about this kind of stuff :/ But something has been bugging me for a while and it's probably very stupid but like i said, I know very little :)
So, from what i understand if we can travel close to the speed of light we will be traveling into the future? So this leaves me with a question, why doesn't light itself travel into the future? They say it could take so and so millions of years for a light from a distant star to reach us, but sinse it's traveling so fast how come it doesn't reach us sooner, by traveling into the future sinse it's, well.. light speed :/
Another question, some day we'll probably have some kind of spacecraft that will go quicker than light - we have to if we want to explore other galaxies within a humans life span, but i heard that if you travel FASTER than light, you go back in time, how will this affect getting to other galaxies? it's almost like rowing backwards to get down a river :/
I'm not very good with explaining this kind of stuff & english isn't my mother language so sorry if it's a bit messy :)
thanks!
