is it possible? do we just not have the technology yet?

Hi. Not only is it possible but it happens every moment. Photons do it. Any massless particle does it. They can not go SLOWER than the speed of light.

Technology is simply the application of science. Our present level of science states that time travel and light speed are both impossible for objects with mass.
If our science is correct, then the technology is impossible.

Time travel travel is not only possible, but we have been doing it forever. We are all travelling forward in time at the rate of 60 minutes per hour. I believe it is possible to travel at the speeed of light with respect to something else

Impossible. No way of even approaching a tenth of the speed of light with out present technology.
Time travel is impossible. You can't go back to a place/era that no longer exist. You can't go to a place and era that isn't there just yet. Be careful stepping off your time machine.

Not possible for an object with mass to accelerate to the speed of light. That would take infinite energy - which is not available in a finite universe.

Yes indeed. It is possible and one German scientist had already done it few years back in his lab by sending a tiny wavelength of sound back in time by micro seconds. Also there are so many particles in the vaccum of universe which travel much more than the speed of light. In the year 2000 few scientists in the US also broke this barrier...

It is not possible! It's not a matter of having the technology -- it's simply an inherent property of our universe.

photons and quanta can go faster than the speed of light but thats because they have no mass. anything with mass can never reach the speed of light. it if somehow did it would require an infinite amount of energy to move and have an infinite mass.
