The great 20th century scientist Albert Einstein developed a theory called Special Relativity. The ideas of Special Relativity are very hard
to imagine because they aren't about what we experience in everyday life, but scientists have confirmed them. This theory says
that space and time are really aspects of the same thing—space- time. There's a speed limit of 300,000 kilometers per second (or
186,000 miles per second) for anything that travels through space-time, and light always travels the speed limit through empty space.
Special Relativity also says that a surprising thing happens when you move through space-time, especially when your speed relative
to other objects is close to the speed of light. Time goes slower for you than for the people you left behind. You won't notice this effect
until you return to those stationary people.
Say you were 15 years old when you left Earth in a spacecraft traveling at about 99.5% of the speed of light (which is much faster
than we can achieve now), and celebrated only five birthdays during your space voyage. When you get home at the age of 20, you would
find that all your classmates were 65 years old, retired, and enjoying their grandchildren! Because time passed more slowly for you, you
will have experienced only five years of life, while your classmates will have experienced a full 50 years.

To=t/sqr root1-v sqr/ c sqr
This is the formulae for time dilation
Thats to relativity some astronaut life 0.02sec in the future after spending 803days 9hours and some minutes in the I.S.S.

It is impossible for an object with mass to travel at the speed of light

Will you look older?

ideal theorem

No at all you will ageless.
for example, right i am exactly 15 years and 11 months and i travel at 99.995% in my space bubble after celebrating 6 birth months in my bubble 50years would have passed
While i am 16 years and 5months my friends would be 65years of age.
