again, incorrect. you will merely see things that you hadn't yet SEEN on earth, not things that hadn't happened yet. you can not see a thing before it happened.



regardless of how fast you go, you will age at the same rate. this is the fallacy of the time travel theory.
Any two objects headed towards each other would be closing the space between them faster except for light. Light is a constant speed.

If the sun exploded then we on Earth wouldn't see it happen for 8 minutes or so after someone who is on the sun would see it happen. But for that 8 minutes we would keep circling the sun normally because even the force of gravity can only travel at the speed of light. So for all intents and purposes, the sun hasn't exploded for us until the light reaches us because only then do we get any affects of it.

And finally if you go fast you will age at the same rate relative to yourself. But if you measure the rate that you age or that time passes compared to someone at rest relative to you, time for you will pass much slower than time for them.

I don't know if you're just being 12clicks the troll here or if you're serious, seems to me you're trolling. Nobody can not know so much when they are sitting in front of a computer, right?
