Just to let you know, if you traveled faster than the speed
of light, _you_ would become younger, because biologically
_you_ would be going back in time.  However, everything
around you would not have gone back in time, but you would
have beaten the light from everything else to where you moved
to.  Therefore, wouldn't you only be able to _view_ the past
again?

Also, in order to create a gravitational field strong enough
to allow a person inside it to travel faster than the speed
of light, you get two results.  First, as the feild was being
created, the person will get destroyed by its immense
gravity.  The only way to overcome this would be to make the
field nonexistent inside where the person is. Since gravity
is such a long distance force, that cannot happen.  Second,
everything around it, (people, buildings, planets, stars)
will all be attracted to it.  The gravitational force would
have to be strong enough to change how the galaxy, and using
Bell's theorem, the universe, looks.  (Not to mention throw
off the Earth's orbit and send us crashing into the sun.)
Enjoy!

PS I didn't realize that this type of comment would spark so
much interest.
