Question Re: Instantaneous travel of macroscopic objects?

Tormod,

Please explain your logic here

For something to move from the Sun to the Earth instantaneously, it would actually have to travel faster than light, which spends 8 minutes on the journey (at the speed of c, obviously). So instantaneous travel is the same as travelling back in time.

I do not understand how the 'back in time' statement follows from the previous statement.
