If we travel fast than the speed of light we could theoretically go back in time. Then theoretically an astronaut could arrive back on Earth before he left !
Scientist believe that neutrinos do travel faster than light but the infinite amount of energy required to propel something beyond that speed is a real hangup  |
So far all I could find are theories on travelling faster than the speed of light until it's fact it's an "If we can" situation.
Even so building a spacecraft capable of getting humans to a planet 1 light year away, keeping them alive and fit and possibly bringing them back or having enough to sustain life on their destination. Is as far away as Bronze Age Man circumnavigating the World.
With all the real problems on Earth, its not worth the bother.
