Theoretically, you could go back in time on Concorde, arriving before you left on the London/Paris to New York route. However, you couldn't realistically do it. Astronauts aboard the ISS, see 16 sunrises a day, yet after 100 days in orbit they return only 100 calender days later, despite 1600 sunrises!
Mmm... full English breakfast, with tea in London, Champange on the plane and arrive in time for Danish and Coffee in New York! Now thats what I call Breakfast!!!!

Not unless you exceed the speed of light, then who knows what would happen?
That's what happened in Superman, although most people seem convinced he turned back time on Earth by making it spin the other way, which is even more silly (yes, I know...) as everyone would just shoot off into space when it stopped and the sudden change in direction of forces would splatter the planet all over the shop. Not fun.

well, this is in fact a really intresting and complex question! however the only answer that i can give to ur question is:
if one can travel at the speed of light that is 300000000 m/s
than the time would pass slowly for him. this is described by the einsteins theory of relativity. anyway if you ask me personally i would say yes u could time travel as i believe up on this fact and want to research myself and build a time machine!

the theory is as you approach the speed of light time slows down so if you travel at the speed of light time will stand still so if you go faster than the speed of light you will travel backwards in time

No. For that you need to travel faster than light, which violates nature's rule

According to the theory of relativity, the faster you go, the slower time gets.
Or are you asking about the time zone thing?

no, it has nothing to do with the earth. but the faster you travel, the slower time becomes. so if you can somehow travel as fast as light, from your perspective, you will stop time.

Scotty,
I would ask your Commander ? Namley Captain James T Kirk.

It depends- if you traveled from east to west, you would cross the international date line, and jump a day ahead.

backwards according to Albert Instine. but only if you go faster than light
