Time travel is not specifically feasible as of yet, only because we have no influence over the driving force behind time, our matter. Einstein proved that time dilation was an effect that occurred in object traveling near the speed of light. Thus special relativity shows us that at the velocity of light, time will 'stop', and 'faster' than the speed of light means that time will go backwards or at least thats the comic book claim. The problem is that as you approach the speed of light your mass increases to infinity, and is infinity at the speed of light, so you cannot have enough fuel to accelerate enough. The only other means of travel is through a gravitational wormhole where space has been stretched enough to where the distance is not real, take two black holes and hold them close and then stretch them across the galaxy and they will create a worm hole, this is the only means of traveling faster than light but you still wouldn't be traveling faster than light since space is distorted. You would jump forward in time, but you can't go backwards.
