Time isn't a dimension that you can travers like X,Y and Z coordinates are. Time is just a measurement of decay. Onces something has decayed, it's no more. So you CAN'T go back in time. Time is not stored anywhere, so how could you go back through it? Actually if u look at the formulas regarding increase of mass and slwing of time as u approach the speed of light it could be theoretically possible if u could SURPASS the speed of light to go backwards in time, tho going faster then the speed of light would put u into the i dimension, as in complex numbers i the forumula i believe is sqrt [C(sqd) - speed(sqd)] so travel over the speed of light u get a negative root which can only be solved using i, hence the i dimension I can't say that I'm an expert, or really know what I'm on about... but you can't go slower than stopped. You just can't. Try it in your car. Reverse is still moving, just in the other direction. The way I understand the speed of light thing, is that if you where to travel at the speed of light, you would instantly be at the end of the universe and time itself (if such a thing exists) and would cease to exist. Think about it. The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time goes for you. Once you are ALMOST at the speed of light, time would have slowed for you so much, that 0.0001 second for you would be the lifetime of the whole universe. There are many theories as to what happens then? most of them are 'stuff all goes away now'. You, being stuff, would, in that 0.0001 second, be gone away. No FTL for you. No you for you. Just gone. So to say that 'if you could travel faster than light' is really saying 'what happens at the end of the universe?', 'cuz you'd find out pretty quick at the speed of light. If you can survive the end of the universe, then perhaps you could get up to the speed of light, but as soon as you did, you would be everywhere in the timeline at once. If there was no end, then you would continue infinitely stopped, no longer capable of effecting time or space around you. No longer capable of going any faster (or slower for that matter). Like I said, try making your car go slower than stopped. No matter how much you pump that break, it won't work. Stopped is stopped. How can decay reverse itself anyway? Is there some kind of universal memory of what's happened? Or does everything, every moment, exist all at once, and we simply travel along a line of pre-determent stuff that happens?
