What does this mean for time travel?
If Einstein purported that we could achieve time travel into the "future" by moving faster than the speed of light (relative to others - hence the Theory of Relativity) - then what does this mean for time travel.

If we can slow time down then couldn't one suggest that we could "travel" in time back to the past (again, relative to others) if we could travel slower than time?
