Depends on you definition of young! Age reversal research is actually pretty amazing and might be viable in our lifetime.
Every person you see is currently the youngest they’ll ever be again.

In German there is a saying: „So jung kommen wir nicht mehr zusammen“ („We’ll never be this young together again”). You say it when you’re with friends or family and it means something like “Let’s live in the moment and celebrate, because who knows how long we can still do this.”

So you see people more than once ? Damn I knew I was doing something wrong.

Everything you see is just the past because of how slow light is and how slow signals in your body are. We’re living with a constant lag!

The even more fucked part is that everyone’s lag is different, and there is no universal “now”. Check this out if you want to lay awake for a few nights:

I can recommend neurological research too. Turns out individuals have different “clock speeds”, influencing their reaction time and even the “frame rate” of their visual perception (Fighter jet pilots!). Time is a funny thing, even without taking spacetime into account.

It... would be pretty horrific if that wasn't the case. Like, wake up tomorrow and my parents are teenagers? People I work with are babbling babies? There are people out there filing my taxes. I need them to not crawl back into their mother's womb. Who in this scenario may as well be a toddler. No, thanks.

I see dead people (because movies and such exist). In person, though, you're right unless you've got a time machine hiding somewhere.
