according the theory of relativity,as we reach near the speed of light, the clocks we be slow down and reaching the speed of light the clocks will stop and ecceeding the speed of light we will start travelling in past, how can we travell in the future?

if we slow down to a velocity below zero, we should be able to travel into the future. (and this does not mean go backwards, because that would just be velocity in a different direction)

Whoa, mass-energy cannot "exceed the speed of light." The so-called Lorenz transforms, a major input to relativity, make that clear.
At the speed of light, if that were physically possible, mass-energy would be infinite, which means it would take a force greater than infinite to accelerate that infinite mass-energy to beyond the speed of light. Not doable.
For similar reasons, time cannot travel backward according to the theories of Einstein. It would take an infinite increment of force to get time over zero time passage, if that could be reached, which is unlikely because of energy limits.
Traveling into the future is feasible however. Close to light speed (c) time dilates so that the passage of time on the traveling vehicle slows down to outside observers. Conversely, the traveler sees time on the outside speed up. Such is the nature of relativity. When a traveler going at near the speed of light returns after a few months of his time, he will find himself possibly centuries into his future, depending on how close to light speed he was going.
As far as I know, the only subscribed to theory of anything traveling faster than the speed of light is the universe itself. During the so-called inflationary epoch, about 10^-35 seconds after the big bang, space apparently expanded faster than the speed of light. But understand, space is not mass-energy; so it is not limited by the speed of light, which applies solely to mass-energy.

You have it the other way around. Travelling close or at the speed of light is a way to travel into the future, not the past.
Check out my source if you do not believe me. It is also an interesting an enlightening read.

You cannot exceed or even equal the speed of light. You would need infinite energy for reaching the speed of light. Its impossible. So you cannot travel into the past yet.

We are already traveling into the future, so keeping it just below the speed of light would reduce our interaction on a relativistic scale, and we would travel through space and time into the future allot faster than sitting still.
There is no way to travel faster than the speed of light unless you figure out the direction our galaxy is headed away from the galactic core and head in that direction, where you would end up in 'out-space' and have to come back to regular space to get where you want to go, traveling less than the speed of light so you would end up back where you started from. Now if you could use the unified field theory you could potentially send small machines back further by dispersing them as you traveled back in time and it would take them less time to get back to the originating point so they could go back in time and observe, but it would take more energy than exists in the universe to travel back yourself, unless you manage to create a slipstream effect in which you're sending 2 objects back in time, one within the other, so they go back twice as far using the same amount of energy.

What you consider is a theory. A mass is able to attain to the speed of light, but at that time it converts into electromagnetic energy. Einstein made a mistake when he supposed that, because mass and energy are equatable, that accelerating mass had an increase of mass/energy added to its mass. What happens is the mass frequency converts toward one dimension only.

Still you need a shield (Dam Space rocks) to travel that fast (WARP BUBBLE)/(Plasma Shield) but would you or the bubble feel the velocity of the forces and would time be different in the bubble or outside of the bubble and whether forward or backward what would be the effect of thoughs forces on the human body?

exceeding the speed of light would only have us travel into the future

Since when relativity slow down the watches! Do you had or heard about past time travel? Nonsens!

on the instantaneous, no. Why? because no one is conscious of ways. below our present day expertise of the thanks to commute over 3 dimensional area, as an gadgets % will enhance, so does its mass. because the speed receives in the route of the speed of sunshine (c), then its mass (m), procedures infinity. So the quantity of ability (E) needed to accelerate the article that very last bit to achieve the speed of sunshine ought to favor to be endless too. consequently, there ought to no longer be sufficient ability utilized to the article to accelerate the article to the speed of sunshine. E=mc2
