Time travel is impossible though.
If light can be affected by gravity though, then it's possible to warp from one place to another, and if that's possible, then you can travel backwards or forewards by 12 hours (time zones
)
To those saying that speeding yourself up will allow yourself to continue into the future as your "present self", that's a load of crap.
You age just as much as everyone else. Arguably, it will make it seem like you've lived longer, but in reality, you haven't. That also doesn't make any sense... What makes more sense is, the bigger you are, the longer you live... Because for you, if you move 1 meter, that's a considerable distance that you might cover in about a second. If you're giant, moving a meter will take no time at all... So you get more accomplished in a lifetime... I dunno, it's hard to explain. But like, you know how ants seem so fast? And always in movies where there are like giants, the giants move really slow, but they're moving normal speed, so like, for you (the small thing) lots of time is passing, but for the giant, almost no time is passing. So my point is, if you're big, you live longer, but it doesn't necessarily seem that way... Yeah.
No offense, but its a proven fact that the faster you move, the less time you experience. However, as before, in perspective of the universe, you can fly in a jet across the world, faster than the speed of sound, and your still moving impossibly slow, nearly at a standstill.
Your giant example is merely relativity. We have 2 people in space. Jack with a green light, sally with a red light. Nothing is around them except space. Jack suddenly sees a red light in the distance, and its coming closer. Sally suddenly sees a green light in the distance, and it coming closer. They pass each other, at 4 mph. Jack says that he wasnt moving at all, and that sally passed him. Sally says she wasnt moving at all, and jack passed her. The truth? Jack and sally are both traveling at 4mph, 0 mph, and every speed inbetween SIMULTANEOUSLY. Proven fact, every answer is right, BECAUSE its based on relativity, how they see things that are happening.
Now about the ant and the giant. The ant, is moving extremely fast, for his size, as is the giant. But the giant looks at the ant...it is moving freaking slow because the giant can easily WALK faster. To the ant, the giant seems slow because the ant moves itself, and the ants around it, all quickly for their size. The giant took one step? the ant took like 20. The ant is clearly faster, but the giant moved 2 feet? the ant moved 2 centimeters, the giant is clearly faster. Both are right, both are based on perspective. (hard to give an example of ants and giants...)
And not to mention, that being large wont make you faster in the sense you think of, because more energy is required to move you, and it becomes that much harder faster to move you to light speed.
And yes, like you said, you can travel through solid objects, also known as quantum tunneling. When atoms collide, there is a chance that it will pass through the solid object. Alone, you may not have enough energy to pass through a wall, but eventually, with enough collisions, your atoms can borrow energy from the solid barrier, and with that energy pass through the barrier, and then the energy is restored on the other side. The exact process is unknown, but it is known to be able to happen. Technically, if you slammed your fist on the desk, it can go right through the desk. Now, if you want that to happen, its estimated your going to need to at least create a collision every milisecond and maintain the collisions for a couple million years. Is it possible? yes. Is it probable? not really. Has it happened before? Most likely yes, considering how old and vast the universe is, I'm sure that somewhere, maybe not on our planet, solid objects have quantum tunneled before.
