If you moved 'faster' than the speed of light, you might be able to get far enough away to see yourself being born - but, since your motion is greater than the speed of light, there'd be no light of you flying to that far planet.

Drake say: If you could travel through a wormhole or have some other means of teleportation (not to mention an unbelievably incredible telescope) then yes you could, provided you were born outside, during daylight.
If you go in a ship which travels at the speed of light (currently deemed impossible to go 100% at this speed), you could not get to a point to see anything from the past happen. The light has already left the Earth during the moment it happened and has been traveling throughout space at the speed of light since. You cannot outrun that light without going faster than it (impossible) or having some type of teleportation.

Dingo say: No; lightyears are not a measurement of time, but a measurement of distance. If you travelled lightyears away, then you wouldn't be traveling in time, just a far distance...

Metalplanttag say: No because the light would have gotten there long before you did.

Nancy say: no
