This is an unanswerable question, since time is a dimension and the speed of light a measurement. The two are directly related, however, insofar as approaching the speed of light inversely affects the relative speed with which you travel through time. For instance, one year on a spaceship going 99% the speed of light (it is impossible to reach the speed of light relative to local space-time, in that paradoxical scenario time would stop completely) would cause you to return to an Earth that has aged hundreds or possibly thousands of years (I'm not sure the precise speed to time conversion formula).

Is there anything faster than the speed of light-?
Recent experiments at CERN suggest that neutrinos travel faster than light, but this experiment has not been replicated anywhere else and needs significant backing before it is to be accepted as a phenomenon.
Can nothingness No matter energy etc Travel faster than light If so how fast?
Think about that question. When you say nothing that means that there is nothing to measure the speed of. And nothing can move faster than light, nothing, There is a fixed amount of speed something can have. As speed increases time slows down and at light speed no time passes therefore it is impossible for anything or "nothing" in your questions case can move faster than light. Then again im only 15 so i could wrong but i am answering to the best of my knowladge.
If time travel was possible could you in the distant future move several light years in a space by traveling close to the speed of light and than traveling backwards through time at regular intervals?
Indeed, time travel, and travelling faster than the speed of light, are intimately related in the Special Theory of Relativity. Looking at the situation from the other side, if it were possible to travel faster than light, then from some point of view, you would be travelling backwards in time. For more details, read about the definition of "simultaneity" in the Special Theory of Relativity.Probably none of the two is possible - travelling backwards in time, and travelling faster than light.Indeed, time travel, and travelling faster than the speed of light, are intimately related in the Special Theory of Relativity.

What is the physics behind time travel?
Time travels at the speed of light but this speed varies depending on where you are. If you were to be in space, time travels faster but if youre on earth, time travels slower because it has to pass through earth and its bent by it gravity.So to clarify, if you put a clock on a satellite orbiting earth and a clock on the earth, the clock on the satellite would go faster than the one on earth.
If you travel the speed of light will you age slower?
As you go faster and faster, time appears to slow down. If you could go 99.99999% of the speed of light, you would hardly age at all in 100 years. According to our current understanding of physics (and this is subject to change!) you can never move AT the speed of light, although with enough power you could approach it very nearly. The faster you go, the more time slows down.
Will travelling faster than light land us in future?
We will land in past.when our speed is slower than light there will be some time in clock ,when our speed is same of light than the in click will stop for us, But when our speed is faster than light the clock will start moving reverse.
Why you cannot travel faster than light?
Because when moving at the speed of light, time stops for you and you can no longer measure speed (distance covered in a certain time).
Is time faster at the speed of light?
No.

Can Naruto move faster than light?
No. No object can move faster then light. However, Minato Namikaze (the Fourth Hokage) and Uchiha Madara posses the ability to move at speed nearing the speed or light, or the speed of light itself, utilizing the space-time ninjutsu.
If time and distance approach zero relative to an observer as one approaches light speed and light travels at light speed wouldn't an observer see light going faster than it is?
time dilates, space contracts, speed of light holds constant.
What does a lemon have to do with space travel?
If you throw a lemon faster than light speed, it should be time travling.
How do you increase a time period?
Theoretically, you need to go around the speed of light. Once you reach near the speed of light, time begins to slow down. After you go faster than the speed of light (which is impossible, mathematically,) time begins to flow backwards.
Can we go across the time?
No. Albert Einstein had a theory. He said Time travel would be possible if we could go faster than the speed of light going opposite of the worlds rotation. Being that is a theory, there is no way to prove it, being that we can't go faster than the speed of light.

How fast would you have to travel to go back in time?
Faster than the speed of light, in theory.
Why sound travels faster than light?
Sound does not travel faster than light. The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second The speed of sound is 343.14 meters per second or, light travels at 186,000 miles per second sound at 751 MPH
