I don't care if it's the best phycisist in the world: What hasn't happened yet hasn't happened yet j
No one is saying that things that haven't happened yet have happened.

"If you Leave Earth at Age of 15 in a Spaceship at Speed of Light and Spends 5 Years in Space, when you Get Back You will be 20 Years old. But All Of your Friends Who were 15 when you Left Will seem 65 Years Old at that Time to an outside observer in say, Mars."

The actual age doesn't change but it just seems like it to some other observer. Am I doing this right?
Not quite.
The guy in the ship has aged 5 years.
The guy on earth has aged 50 years.
It's just that relative to each other, they will have appeared to have aged faster or slower, but in reality they have aged exactly as they were supposed to have aged. 5 years and 50 years respectively.
