I don't understand that.
Really, I don't.
I think it's total and utter idiocy.
Also, I do not believe that "Travelling at the speed of light" causes any sort of "temporal warp", because time itself is nothing more than the basic progression of the chemical reactions of the body, as I was informed in Chemistry, and unless if travelling at a fast velocity causes the reactions to stop then it wouldn't make sense.
On top of that, there's also the fact that while you might seem to be moving while nothing else is moving, while at the speed of light, it does not mean that time has slowed...merely that you are moving faster than everything else. Compare a Car that's going 10 MPH to a car that's going 100. It seems like the one that's going 10 is at a standstill if you view it from the car going 100.
Yup.

If the clock on a fast travelling spacecraft is slightly slower than that of a stationary house, then as you go faster and faster, relative time is slower and slower, so what happens when you break the speed limit of the universe?, you go back in time and have crazy adventures with Doc Brown and invent the Frisbee.
It's also possible to age at the same rate as your son, yet, relatively speaking, be younger if you spend enough time at very high speeds.
