Does this mean that all matter in our time universe is moving at the
speed of light right now? If not then what is meant by "time dimension
moves at c?" Do any dominant theories such as QM or M-theory show any
energy that escapes? I know M-theory claims that Gravity escapes our
universe but I have no concept of time dimension. *If* gravity travels
faster than c then it is possible that gravity experiences the past?
I am trying to picture time dimension moving at c. What I am picturing
is mass (our universe) moving at c while it leaves a trail of energy /
history behind. Is there any type of energy that is left behind,
figuratively speaking, that is considered a representation of history?

I have read that traveling faster than c takes you back in time. How
real is that idea and what exactly would happen?
