Faster-than-light (also superluminal or FTL) communications and travel refer to the propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light.
Read on in that article, isn't that what Matt said? If you travel faster than the speed of light you can go through space-time 
That is what Parkman said, but Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity actually states that it would be impossible for any object with a rest mass (i.e. anything which you would normally say has mass: people, pot plants, rockets or whatever) to reach the speed of light. From that same article:
quote:
Under the special theory of relativity, a particle (that has mass) with subluminal velocity needs infinite energy to accelerate to the speed of light, although special relativity does not forbid the existence of particles that travel faster than light at all times (tachyons).
Regardless, even if you just accept their logic that they would be able to go back in time there is still no explanation as to how they got back to the present.
