The faster you go in time, the slower time goes but the older we get is that true?

Are you sure look again! 4 years = 100 I suggest you look into the physcis of this question very well..

Was Einstien correct about this theory 90 years ago?

I think you are merging 2 theory. I read somewhere that test has been taken. It was stated that if a man who fly in the fastest plane for a very long time, he only gain at most a second younger. That is hardly helpful. I believe you should state that the closer we are to travel at the speed of light, the slower time seems. not for the traveller, but from the person looking at the traveller, if they can do that in the first place. When you stated we get older, are you referring to the traveller or the person looking at the traveller? There is a big different. For both of them, they are aging at the same rate. But from the point of view from the traveller, if some how he can look outside the window, always at the same spot at a point, yes, perhaps he will notice that things are aging very fast. So, it really depends on where and how you are looking at things. I think it is call relative something. I am no Science guy but I sure like these theory. They make life interesting. Anyway, travelling at the speed of light will not happen for us nor for the next few life time. Only charged atoms can travel at the speed of light for now. Just image a light been suck into the black hole. See how it is been pull longer and longer? If human are able to travel in that speed, their body have long explode into atoms even before it has the chance to reach the speed of light. That is why it is just a theory. Perhaps by the time, if ever, human are able to travel at that speed, who knows, we may be alien to other creatures.

Seriously, time may have slowed down for observers, but in reality it is all relative to us. Let's say you're traveling close to the speed of light. You will age more slowly compared to others, but in reality you will only experience the same life span as other human beings experience. One more thing. You can only last into the future, but you may not go back in time and say eliminate your creator.

No, if you go at speeds close to that of light, the time and the aging slow down.
