Light traveling faster than light! Imarinary relavistic mass. These are tachyons! I don't think they exist, but who am I to challenge you know whom.
Won't it wonderful if we can create tachyons and harness (use) them. We can see the past! And much more!

Even starting with the idea of a tachyon, it still won't let you communicate backwards in time! The laws conspire against it, even with that handicap! See http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/ParticleAndNuclear/tachyons.html" .

If you stopped time in your own reference frame, how would you know it?
 
Even if you could stop time how would you ever know? Nothing would happen. It would start again and you would never know it had stopped.
