haha if only time travel was possible!

It is possible, Relativity predicts it. But not forwards time travel, only backwards

Travelling back in time is not nearly so simple.

I thought you were right Spangle

it's all confusing you go fast as the speed of light then time slows to a stop, in theory if you went faster time would go backwards and you would arrive before leaving. if you go at the speed of light to a star 10 light years away and back to earth people on earth would think you arrived as soon as you left, but you would have aged 20 years.... yeah i was right actually azzoria you're wrong! travelling forwards i guess could be done by freezing yourself, but you could only do that from the time possible freezing had been invented so you'ld have to wait a long time

If your frozen does your body stil suffer the affects of aging ?

ageing is caused by the division of cells, freezing them would stop said division and hence, no ageing.

Awesome so your organs and stuff will still work like they should.

All of this confuses me, majorly... I think in order to even attempt to consider the possibility of housing a scientific college course we need to see whether Spangle would be prepared to teach

Lol... Freezing someone though isn't as easy as it seems, ice crystals destroy the cells as they are sharp

But isnt there a way to stop it. Don't they take liquid out or something. They do it with fruit to stop them mushing when they freeze them.

then everything's dried up and you have to spend a long time putting the liquid back in afterwards

My point was that physicists have not yet devised even a hypothetical way to move beyond the speed of light. And that second bit makes no sense. 20 years will have passed in the time it takes for something moving the speed of light to travel 20 light years. Do you not understand the concept of a "light year"?
I believe you misunderstood time dilation. As you approach the speed of light, time slows for you, but stays constant everywhere else. So more time will have passed if you approached the speed of light, hence moving forward in time.
