That theory fails simply because you can't travel faster than light.  It's just one of those laws of the universe.

Hell, I don't believe you can even travel as fast as light.  Why?  Again, because the universe doesn't like you breaking rules.

Pretend you were going 99.9% the speed of light or even the speed of light, what would happen if you stepped forward?  Wouldn't you be going faster than the speed of light?

No, you'd be going so slow in time that your velocity of stepping forward would actually be so small that it could not put you above the speed of light no matter how quickly you tried to move.

Even if you could do what you're talking about, you would only be seeing light, you couldn't actually affect anything.  You could affect the waves, you couldn't affect the source of the waves.  You would see the past, but it would still be the present at the source of the light.


Didn't you watch BSG?  Their ships had FTL capabilities!!!


Fiction.  :-p

Naw... if you watched it, BSG actually took place thousands of years before present day... we are the decedents of space exploration!! 



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos
