  A frame of reference moving very very fast has a time dilation, correct?
(That is, if we are still and looking at someone moving they are "slow")
When we look out into the universe- all galaxies are moving away from us,
and the very far away galaxies are moving near the speed of light.

Therefore, THEIR TIME HAS BARELY BEGUN.  Their civilization's have not 
started, and they live in a "young" universe.  Thus, if we could travel
faster than light, we could jump backwards and live this whole universe
through once again.  Of course, the converse is true just as well from
their perspective.  Is this analysis somewhat correct?
