What are your views on time travel? Do you think it could be achieved by going faster than the speed of light? Personally I think that if we could travel faster than the speed of light we could slow time down for ourselves, and we would remain unaged while others continued moving and aging at a natural rate, but I dont think we could actually revisit Earth as it was at a previous time, and if we could, simply our presence there would alter the future, so we could never return to the time that we are accostomed to. What do you think?

As we cannot travel anywhere near the speed of light or exceed it one will never know. However I do not believe even if we could that we could go back in time. I agree with you on this one

The closer you get to the speed of light, the harder it becomes to accelerate, therefore I don't believe it's possible to go faster than light.
I believe that the only way to go back in time it to recreate the entire universe as it was at a previous time. I don't think there is anything fundamentally impossible with doing this.
I believe going forward in time is most simplistic. We are always going forward into time, you just have to bend time using velocity in order to cause your time to move faster into the future than anyone else.

Great question.Let make this clear Time was invented by us to measure the events in our life.Example If we were on a large planet a day would be longer if we use rotation of the planet.I have been explaining this to people all my life.Yes our mass will age slower as we reach the speed of light.The only chance ( very small one) for time travel to happen is in a dream.Maybe one day we will be able to go back in time in our dreams at will.Many people believe our life is running in a loop. I feel time travel is not what you believe it to be.

Time is an interval between events, it does not move, it is always NOW. Don't you understand that if time travel was possible you could never die, you would always have to be fixed in time to greet anyone that travelled from the past or the future into your time.

I think time traveling is a technology that will exist in the future twenty years and will be used first by armies as weapon to modify the past and distort the present .
