You can't excactly turn back time, but you do have pictures and memories, so you can turn back time everytime you remember a special moment

Sure, travel faster than light, u could turn back time, but not necessarily.
What would happen in theory [well, no one break the speed of light yet 'cause it's impossible according to law of physics] is after u travel faster than light, u would end up in the past or in the future, like if I wanan go back to 1970 and I did break the speed of light and didnt die, I might end up in 1980 or in say 3000, it's totally random; BUT this is only a theory, no one has proven this yet

You can't but you can SEE backward in time. Just look at the stars and you are seeing them as they were in the past because it has taken an amount of time for the light to reach us across the distance of space. Light travels at 186262 miles per second (7 times around the World in 1 second) and at that speed it takes 4.3 years to reach us from the nearest star so we see it as it was 4.3 years ago. It takes 2.5 million years from the nearest galaxy in Andromeda so we see it as it was 2.5 million years ago. The Sun appears as it was 8 minutes ago because that's how long the light takes to reach Earth and the Moon looks like it did 1.3 seconds ago. We see the most distant objects as they were 13 billion years ago, long before the Sun and solar system was ever formed!

I think that is an impossibility. Time is currently one of the few fundamental quantities. These are quantities which can not be defined via other quantities because there is nothing more fundamental than what is presently known. Thus, similar to definition of other fundamental quantities (like space and mass), time is defined via measurement. It's neither feasible nor scientifically possible. Therefore, I think that it would be a fruitless undertaking.

Give Superman a call, he can spin the earth backwards.

most clocks or watches have a control that lets you
set the time forward or backward

I don't think humans will learn how to do that in our life time, but I think it is possible.

travel faster than the speed of light (in other words, you can't)
