Do you go back in time if you blink faster than the speed of light?

I'm thinking that this is easy to test and find out.When you blink, the only part of you that moves is your eyelid. The rest of you stays still.So if you move your eyelid faster than the speed of light and it goes back in time,then your eyelid would disappear, because the rest of you would stay here in thepresent time.You could try it any time, wherever you are, and see what happens.But how fast would you have to blink ?If your eyelid moves a whole inch during a blink, then in order to move at the speedof light, you'd have to move it fast enough to blink 11,802,827,520 times in one second.That's about 590 thousand times faster than that high squeal you hear froma mosquito's wings.Do you think you can do that ? Good luck on your experiment.

Let's say that you can accomplish a complete blink in one hundredth (0.01) of a second. In that amount of time, a beam of light could travel . . . -- from New York City to Albuquerque, New Mexico, -- or from Los Angeles to Grand Rapids, Michigan -- or from London to Rome and back to London -- or from Jerusalem to Berlin -- or from Miami to Disney World and back to Miami, almost five times.
