If you travel faster than the speed of light, Wouldn't you only be moving faster than photons rather than traveling through time? How does moving faster than a light photon constitute time travel?

• however if you plot distance to time you can constantly increase this speed (plot x vs y) and a distance of 190,000m per time 1sec. makes the angle simply more acute and not to the line of just y or time or even going into the +x and -y quadrant.
  and that extent by x,y calculations should be able to increase distance to (Infinity -1mph) thus always making that angle more acute.so you havent even gotten to the point of just being able to go distance...2,000,000miles/0sec thus teleporting essentially.
  .
  it is just a point I would like to point out.

• Yes, you can imagine, and draw, FTL travel. However, to transition from STL to FTL, you have to pass through a zone in which your mass increases to infinity, which would require an infinite amount of energy to achieve and would imply that the entire universe had compressed into you. When you are going FTL, your mass (and various other values) starts to include the square roots of negative numbers, which we do not know how to convert into physical statements.

• excellent thanks for the info.
  I knew youd have the answer.

• wow ... length-contraction thru zero and into negative length
  
  and time dilation thru infinity and into negative time
  
  btw: google "negative temperature" - cannot go thru absolute zero but CAN go thru infinity! (lasers have negative temperature)

• if their is not something else that plays a factor in that.

• 1. sure you can, you'd just start filing the jar with anti-cookies as you continue to take cookies out (that's how the electron-positron thing works)
  
  the problem with accelerating a mass to c is that it would require infinite energy
