If traveling at the speed of light freezes time for you and makes the rest of the universe go forward in time. Lets say you travel far enough to make 100 years pass somewhere in the universe. Ok. But what if you do that when there's only 50 years of universe left? Did you force the universe to extend its lifespan? Or did you end up outside the universe?

mfw
I suppose if you mean when time ceases to meaningfully exist due to heat death/big crunch /whatever universe ending theory you subscribe to, but time will still technically pass from an observer's perspective

Nah man, it worked when they did it in Planet of the Apes. Stfu.

It doesn't, it freezes for everyone you're moving at c relative to.
But if there's 50 years left for the universe and you go near c for 100 of your years then the universe still only lasts 50 but they last 100 years by your clock.

It literally boggles my mind that anything can travel at the speed of light. At the point of reference, an object traveling at the speed of light is subject to time, since the object experiences time=0 when moving in a given direction then how can any distance be made?

You traverse the gravity barrier. You wind up in a parallel universe or a serial one depending on the vector.
