When does this movement happen?
wrt TIO, the equations governing relativistic time-dilation tell us that the movement through time of an object moving through space at v>c is not in fact negative, but imaginary. Since time is on an imaginary axis relative to space, it should mean that you start going at a right-angle to time, or something like that, but not backwards.
The upshot of this is that travelling faster than light, although impossible, DOES NOT send you back in time.
For anyone who only has popular knowledge of relativity, but wants to understand it properly, try
