Scientist took two clocks and set them at exactly the same time. The left one clock on the ground, and put the other in a plane. They then flew the plane around the world a few times. When they took the clock off the plan it was no longer in synch but was behind the clock that as on the ground.
The theory is that if you travel at the speed of light, you will actually "stands still" as everything around you ages. So when you stop traveling at the speed of light, you seem to have gone forward in time.
This speed of light theory doesn't have anything to do with traveling to the past.
Now that is just the theory you were talking about.
Read some of steven hawkings shit. That will really scramble your noodle. He talks about space and time being fabrics. Comparing them to a taught sheet that create a plane. Then have multipe instance of the same moment occuring on each of those planes. He talks about how black holes and the gravity of stars then create indentiations, or ripples in the plane, much like what would happen if you put a bowling ball in the center of a sheet that two people were holding on the ends. his theory is basically the gravity generated at those points is great enough to allow you to travel, to the alternate planes. By traveling to these alternate planes you can travel to diffrent places in time.
Something to that effect anyway. Been a long time since i have read this shit, but it is called
"The Universe in a Nut Shell"
Its a fun read

Hawkings is wrong and the test of the clock on the plane is flawed.
the accuracy of messuring millionths of a second in that test is unproven.
I misspoke when I said "back in time" I meant "light speed does not slow time"
