It's actually not that difficult to understand why it does not provide for FTL communication. Also, going back in time is impossible. It's an exercise in meaninglessness! First of all, who says time is something that you "can travel" anyways? Time is simple: it is change; nothing more and nothing less. You can have more change (like time "speeds" up), less change (like time "slows" down), or no change (like time stays "still"), but you can't have negative change. I hope that clears things up. BTW, even if the "super string" theory of "alternate universes" is correct (which I HIGHLY doubt) you would still NOT be traveling to the past through time; instead, you would be traveling to alternate universes; not the same thing. Also, c is the universal speed limit...it is the speed of time! Once you reach c you will have used up all of your available time in the universe! People, please read up on entanglement & FTL.

When these types of people show up its like winning the lottery. With out them the 98 pecent of everyonelse may not have anything to research, i hope another one shows up soon.
