What you're thinking of is related to traveling at the speed of light. I can't remember the exact numbers but say you travel (at light speed) 1 light year away and then return at the same speed. You will return 2 years older than when you left yet we here would have aged say i don't know like 5 years or some Language Removed. Anyway it's all in the relativity of time, you know all that einstein mumbo jumbo. just like how the faster you go the more you "stretch" in length it's crazy Language Removed, just look up the Language Removed in some physics of relativity page or something
