Light speed
According to Einstein, it is impossible to travel at or beyond the speed of light. Strange things happen as you approach light speed. Time for the object traveling would slow down, while time elsewhere would progress normally. What this means is that if you went 10,000 lightyears at a speed as close as possible to the speed of light, you'd reach your destination in a few hours, days at most; however, 10,000 years would have passed both where you came from and where you went. So a round trip would mean missing 20,000 years on Earth. So it stands to reason that if you could travel at the speed of light time would completely stop for you (Instantaneous travel), but continue normally elsewhere once again. If you surpass the lightspeed barrier, time would go in reverse for you, however, once again, normal time would pass the same. There is no way to avoid that one major problem.
