so I am also curious about this question, and here is my theory, which is supported by Einstein's special theory of relativity about how the closer an objects velocity is to the speed of light (c=299,792,458ms^-1), the perception of time for that object (relative) to other objects, slows down. assuming this is true; which evident supports it, muons which using conventional science shows that it should be impossible for them to travel as far as they do with their half life and all that, do it regardless, why not the opposite. I'm not suggesting going back in time, simply constricting it a bit, same as dilating time by speeding up, why not constrict time by slowing down? so here's my theory: if the closer you get to the speed of light(speeding up), your perception of time slows down, so then if the further you get to the speed of light(slowing down), your perception of time speeds up. also a fun fact for anyone who enjoys this and doesn't already know, but if an object could travel at the speed of light, in theory, in its own time reference no time would have passed from the moment it started moving at that speed, until it slowed down. so it would be instantaneous for the object, but for outside observers it still takes time. sorry if there's mistakes in this, its currently 2:33AM as I'm writing this sentence and I probably need sleep.
