Yes but that is only if you are traveling through space faster than light. If you simply skip some of the distance with something like an Alcubierre drive there is no time dilation to deal with.
- mannerheim 5y agoNo, it still results in time travel. > To answer your question: any FTL drive can be used to create closed time-like loops. With these you can travel back in time, but you get stuck in a loop. https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/247048 https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/247048
- xupybd 5y agoOkay, I think there is something I don't understand here. That link references a book I might have to read "Time Travel and Warp Drives". Thanks!
- bashinator 5y ago> simply skip some of the distance My understanding as a lay person of the physics that allow for things like this, is that they require starting conditions that wouldn't produce a universe anything like what we actually live in, or require energy levels around the output of galaxy superclusters to be focused into planck lengths or such. "Technically not impossible" is different for physicists than to normal people ;-)
