If we could travel close to the speed of light, then we could travel further into the future in a given amount of time. It is one of those concepts that is profoundly resistant to a simple definition.
Not only can you not go FASTER than the speed of light, you can't even go as FAST AS the speed of light. The reason lies in Einstein's relativity. As an object gets into speeds that are some percentage of light speed, the mass of the object increases. That means that to go any faster you've got to pump in more energy. The faster the object goes, the more massive it becomes and the more energy is needed to increase its speed. This progression can continue until the object may get very near light speed, but its mass has grown immensely. To nudge the object up to light speed you'd need almost as much energy as exists in the entire universe.
The short answer then, is, with given technology, time travel is impossible and it only travels in one direction

Lots of opinions on this one, and people on both sides of the argument can make good points.
I don't think it is. If it were, I could travel to the future, come back and tell you that the next answer will start out with "No because its the rules of the 3rd demesion you can speed it up and slow it down u jus cant go back"

No because its the rules of the 3rd demesion you can speed it up and slow it down u jus cant go back, every moment is 4 ever lost through time but if time went in a circle we could but so far i heard its only in a straight line, now maybe if we reached the 4th dimension we could but its somethings you just cant figure out in one life time

I'm afraid it might be.
