The thing about traveling faster that the speed of light is that according to Einstein it is impossible because once you reach the speed of light your mass would become infinite, which is impossible or highly improbable. Travel is possible to the future because that is the direction in which time normally flows, and the faster you move the more slowly time moves relative to you; they proved this with the atomic clock experiment (Google it). Travel to the past is a bit more complicated; the "easiest" way to travel back in time would be to go faster than the speed of light, but you run into the previously stated problem; However, if you were traveling a 99.99999999% the speed of light, which is a feat within itself, and while travelling at this speed jettisoned a craft from the nose of your ship it would force it past the speed of light which would "theoretically" bypass Einsteins aforementioned problem. Does that help?

if an object is traveling at the speed of light, and it shines a flashlight in the opposite direction, does the wave of light hold it's place? I know that sounds off topic, but speed is all relative, so if I am sitting down here, and someone whizzes past my window at the speed of light, to them I am moving in the opposite direction at the speed of light. I'm just trying to figure out if maybe lightspeed is relative to the center of the universe, because motion is relative, if someone could maybe clear this up because my ignorant self doesn't see any correlation to how fast you are moving relative to another object and your position in linear time...

EXPERIMENT:

Car
Hose

Hold the hose out the window of the car
travel the speed of the water to come out of the hose
turn the hose on...........
what happenes?
same with backwards

okay, but the direction of the water depends on the angle of the hose. I guess my question now is, is it possible that two parallel beams of light, moving in the same direction, could be moving at two different speeds??

No, because the speed of light is a constant and can't be changed.

constant, okay, I don't fully understand this concept I guess, because speed has to be relative to something.

If someone were to, as you put it, whizz past your window at the speed of light, you for one thing would not be able to see them, but to them you would be standing still because time, in theory, stops relative to the object moving at the speed of light. You would not be moving in the other direction at the speed of light because that would require him to be traveling twice the speed of light which is impossible.

oh my god that's fucken crazy, wow that really changes my perspective on things...

It is, time, speed is relative to time in the aspect that the faster a person travels the slower time passes relative to that person.

I think my reasoning is correct, but I will do some research and see if I cannot enlighten you.
