It bothers me how many people keep repeating what Einstein said about nothing going faster than the speed of light and his hypothesis about it; and of course that whole paradox thing. All that, is old and obsolete and it amazes me how many people keep repeating these 'assumptions' as if they were FACT when they are the product of a man who literally REFUSED to even consider Quantum Physics because he misunderstood 'potentia' for 'chance'.
At any rate, since Einstein, certain particles and quantas have been discovered that go faster than the speed of light; so that whole 'nothing goes faster than the speed of light' thingy is not true and not UP TO DATE.
Second, the paradox thingy is faulty since quantum physics showed and proved that causality as we PERCEIVE it is not how things 'really' are. In other words, the effect PRECEDES the cause and not vice versa. What that means is YOU became, so your parents came together to have you. In other words, if you go back and kill your parents, you will still be alive! Think of it this way: you have to have a VISION of your goal BEFORE you take the steps towards that goal. Or like that smart anonymous fellow put it: "if you don't know where you're going...how do you know when you get there?".
Today, it's quantum physics that is describing reality as it is and NOT relativity theory, since it can equally give you a description of space-time, reality, consciousness, ESP...etc.
Relativity theory is PART of the equasion and not THE equasion. So plz, read more into the subject instead of repeating old, obsolete information which is 'theoretical' to begin with and ignoring new FACTUAL info.
To answer your question: You CAN travel in time backward and forward since that whole 'future hasn't happend yet' thingy is not true; in reality, past, present and future are all happening at once.
Therefore, those who CHOOSE to limit themselves and reality (POTENTIA) will never discover time travel. You on the other hand, don't have to be part of that crowd.

as of yet, there has not been a machine developed that can carry a person or object into the past, if there was one developed then it would be closely monitored because of the potential for a paradox. if you go back in time, say 5000 years ago and change something, even if it is just stepping on a flower or kicking a pebble it may cause a ripple effect that could drastically change the future to the point that the planet could end up being destroyed, it might sound kinda drastic but it is a possibility, or if you went further back and killed an insect, that insect may not have been meant to die at that time so any flowers that insect would have pollinated would not reproduce and that may have severe changes, look up chaos theory or the butterfly effect. the butterfly effect states that (in theory) a butterfly flaps its wings on one side of the planet and causes a tsunami on the other side again based on the ripple effect. to understand the ripple effect more go to a pond and drop one pebble in it, watch the ripples, before they stop drop another in it, the whole path will change.

becuase the past doesn't wait around for you to arrive in it. think of time like a flat plane (like of glass) moving perpendicularly along a line (not particularly straight) and leaving behind it nothing. nothing, you hear me?
but it's never to late to attend grammar school my friend.

Becuase its not possible to faster than light.
The only thing that can do that is a light particle.
