  Yup moving through space faster means moving through time slower. Kinda like if you were traveling at a constant speed through a 2d grid, if you make your vertical speed faster, your horizontal speed would be slower, except replace the grid with spacetime where we’re pretty much always traveling through time at 1c

  Relative speeds also cannot exceed the speed of light. Since there’s no absolute reference frame, if this were possible it would be no different than exceeding the speed of light on “absolute” terms. Once you get up to speeds where this would matter, funny dilation effects that I’m too dumb to understand would prevent this.
