That's purely theoretical, and hardly that. It works on the basis that if time gets slower as you go faster, and time stops when you hit the speed of light, then when you go faster it reverses.

Which is hardly a basis.

Besides, Taka could only travel AT the speed of light, not faster than it. =P

What if Takanuva wore a Kakama?

He'd explode the moment he touched the air.

Once you get going past .50 C, you touch a piece of dust and it's the same as hitting a mountain.

What if Umbra in his light form used the Kakama? Or is he not able to?

What I'm wondering is why the speed of light is the magical speed needed to time travel. What is it's exactly one million miles a second? Or more? The only reason we say lightspeed equals time travel is because light is the fastest thing we know of.

...or maybe it's just my ignorance talking, and there's actually a good reason as to why lightspeed = time travel.

If Takanuva used the Vahi to slow down time, light would slow down as well, then all Takanuva would need to do would be to go at the regular speed of light, which would be faster than the speed of light around him, thus time traveling.

No. Water slows light down, barely. That doesn't mean everything but the water travels back in time.

Alex Humva says what I would have, but I also think that this is 'time-travel' to the viewers:

Light goes at approximately 300,000 km every second. The way I see this whole 'time travel' thingo is to imagine Person A and Person B, and that the latter of the two can travel faster than Light Speed. An influential fact is that humans only see about 16 images a second. Person A stands at one side of the corridor, and Person B at the other, at a point called Point C. Person B moves towards Person A, but diagonally so Person A can still see where Person B was standing to a point called Point D. Person A sees Person B at Point D earlier than he sees Person B leaving Point C, because, travelling faster than light, he has appeared in a new location faster than the light could register him moving, and he is now closer to Person A, so the light from there is insured to get to Person A faster than Point C.

Person A then observes (if he can observe an image that lasts one-sixteenth of a second ) Person B leaving, and then suddenly disappear at Point C, while he's been at Point D the whole time. There's been 'two of him' for a split second while he travelled.

In a sense, that's 'time-travel' since Person B has 'arrived before he's taken off', while in reality, this is certainly not the case.

This is why I do not wish for anything in the technical field. I believe that anything is possible, regardless of what sort of proofs there are against it.

Also, you brought Takanuva into this. Let me remind everyone that real world physocs =/= Bionicle physics. If Greg decided Taka could travel through time, he would, dust particles be danged.
