ok, so i understandthat if i travel near the speed of light for a while and come back on Earth than i would be younger than the rest...but what if i travel x2 c than does it relate to -ve time travel?
since length, mass, time are proportional to motion, how does it relate to traveling more than the speed of light??

Material objects can't move at or above c.

I don't think you mean "proportional," do you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(mathematics)
 
@shawn1990 ,dude nothing can bypass the speed of light >.<
