this is revisiting Zeno's paradox but from a modern perspective. Given two points of the same spatial dimension, the maximum travel speed is ~300,000 km per second but if the two points are of different spatial dimensions, say one is 3D and the other is 5D, then the speed needed must be superluminal.

So, we can say that superluminal speed is what is needed to travel between different dimensions. To travel back in time is to travel to a lower dimension and to travel forward into the future is to travel into a higher dimension.

On second thought, could it be a sub-subluminal (no motion or absolute rest) that is needed to travel back in time?
