According to the theory of relativity, as an object approaches the speed of light, time dilation occurs. This means that time would pass more slowly for you relative to an observer on Earth. However, it is not possible for an object with mass, like a human, to travel at the speed of light.

Nevertheless, let's consider a hypothetical scenario where you could travel at the speed of light and then return to Earth. From your perspective, the journey would seem almost instantaneous, as time would practically stop for you. However, for observers on Earth, time would continue to pass normally.

If we ignore the limitations of relativity and assume you could travel at the speed of light, the experience of time would effectively cease for you. So, you would not age during the journey, regardless of how much time elapsed on Earth.

It's important to note that this hypothetical scenario is purely theoretical and not achievable with our current understanding of physics and technology.
