But doesn't that work for only one direction?, I mean here on earth if look at the Andromeda galaxy we are seeing the galaxy what it looked like 2.3 million years ago, because it takes the light time to travel to our eyes. If we were to move away from the galaxy at the speed of light then time would seem to stop because we would be moving with the light and thus we would always see it at 2.3 millions light years away, right?, but if we begin to travel toward the galaxy instead well now are we not seeing the galaxy at a younger age, because we started at 2.3 m light years away but now were only 2 million light years away, now 1 million, etc. so are we not in effect going back in time not stopping it?
