I do know that they have proven that time slows down at faster speeds. One with the clocks that were travelling at the speed of sound, and I think muons (Not the real particle, but gives the general idea) or something, they break down in something like .001 (Not the real number, but gives the general idea) seconds, but they took one and accelerated it to near the speed of sound and instead of breaking down at .001 seconds it ended up breaking down at .5 seconds.
The concept of speed slowing down is all based on perspective, so if I'm moving at the speed of light, I age the same as always, and you're moving at your average speed you're going to age the same as always, but when we look at each other from our separate perspectives then time appears to either move really slow or really quickly. It is being pushed as more then simply theory now, but it's just a really hard concept to wrap your mind around.
