Time dilation is real, but the thing is, you can never go back.

Prove time dilation is real. That concept comes from Einstein's Theory of Relativity . You did know he threw that into his equation only after 4(?) years of being "stalled" . Had to pull something out his rear.
It was tested at one point by having 2 atomic clocks. One was stationary on earth and the other on a high-flying aircraft .
The time came up different. However , at the time , no one thought of accounting for the higher electro-magnetic radiation or the effect of gravity.

If you have a sat nav, there's your proof that time dilation is real.

mass of the earth slowing time down
To reiterate, FTL travel would be possible IF we could break the laws that are already set in stone.
Is Time Travel and FTL Intertwined?
We already have the means to travel among the stars but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity.

You did realize the meaning of the above ? Your words , not mine. So , how did the speed of light play into this? I see only how gravity can effect any wave or particle.That is well known . Or , do you have something else ?

So , atomic clocks couldnt prove it but yet satellites can ? Wouldnt that be a worse test than the ones they ran in the 70s ?
