Example: Travel super fast around the circumference of a circle once for 4 minutes your time, it's been 3 minutes relative to your arrival depature point. How long were you gone? 3 minutes. To the future indeed.
Hypothetically, if you took a journey around the universe and then back to earth at the speed of light for 100 years, you'll only feel like a few years or so have passed, but when you come back everyone else would have died off, and you'd still be alive.
You quoted Wikipedia, yet completely missed or ignored the section on muons having longer lifetimes under high velocities. You actually do get further in time than you could if you didn't travel at high velocities.
