Yep, if youre going near the speed of light you come back "younger" than the people you left behind.

OK let me rephrase my example.

Imagine three bodies in space stationary relative to each other. One person is on each body, call em A B and C. A and C take off in opposite directions from B. Both go near the speed of light. Looking from B using A as a reference point, how is C not moving faster than the speed of light?
