If I visit the future, say 25 years hence, I'd like to be able to look back and see what i did in that time. I'd also expect to see grown up kids, maybe grand-kids.
If i visit the future the way Hawkins suggests, by slowing down my present... I would land up in a future where there's been no me for that period. All there is a memory of 5 years in my mind (while I was traveling in space). There's a missing 20 years. I can't then (hypothetically) jump back in time and see the last 20 years, since i was not "there" during that time.
