A probable view of light, from the perspective of moving faster than, and through the light that has already reflected from the destination and other places.

They say if you go faster than light you go backwards in time.

I think that’s wrong, and I’ll explain why;

We comprehend reality via our eyes, from where we stand. Anything at faster-than-light speeds and moving away from us would be invisible to the human eye.

If you image what it would be like to move at the speed of light, you would never be able to see behind you with human senses, and you would only see infront of you.

If you were to move faster, you would start moving through the light that had already reflected from where you started, perhaps giving the illusion of going backwards in time. You wouldn’t truly go backwards in time, you’d just see events that had happened earlier in time.

In planes that move faster than the speed of sound, it’s impossible to hear any noise from behind you, because you are moving faster than the sound from an event behind you, that’s why a bomber moving at over the speed of sound can see the flash from the bomb, but will not hear the explosion.

If you were in a silent plane moving faster than the speed of sound, without disrupting the air around you, you would probably hear things that had happened in the past, thereby going backwards through sound.

If you are moving at the speed of light, you won’t see a watch where you started from tick – the time piece will appear to be frozen in time, but the watch will still tick, well you wouldn’t see a watch where you started out from ticking anyways, and a watch ahead of you would tick twice as fast.
Light is how we see, that’s all you have to grasp.

Put simply, if you are going faster than sound, you won’t hear a gunshot behind you.
But you’d ultimately move through the sound waves ahead of you, thereby giving the illusion of going backwards through sound.

I hypothesise that light is the same; that one does not go backwards in time after exceeding light-speed, but rather can view events that occured prior to starting off on the light-speed flight, beause one is passing through the remnants of light.
