I've read that faster than light travel is possible if we manipulate the space around the craft, but the energy needed is on the order of the sun's output.
So, even if not practical, since theoretically it is possible I want to ask what happens to our destination's time. As I understand at 0.99999 the speed of light, we will arrive at a planet one light-year away in a mere seconds, but the planet will be one year older than when we started the journey.
What happens for the same distance scenario for speeds equal to light's and speeds greater than light's?
