Time doesn't move faster sean. The faster you go, the more time appears to slow down. This has actually been scientifically proven. Clocks were put onboard jet aircraft after they were synchronized with ground stations. The planes flew at high rates of speed and at the end of the experiment, the clocks on the planes were millionths of a second behind. That's not much, but it proved the validity of Einsteins theory.

The problem with a "warp" drive, at least by our current understanding, is the amount of energy it takes to "warp" space. The amount of energy it would take to do that is so great that you'd expect the beings that did it to have some other purpose beyond cow mutilations.
