We're all time travelers, of course. We're all traveling forward in time at the same rate - but is it possible to travel faster or slower than this rate?
Einstein says yes. In his theory called 'Special Relativity', he suggests if you were traveling in a spaceship at near the speed of light, time would slow down.. You wouldn't notice the change, but when you returned to your point of origin, much more time would have passed for the people you left behind.
This is a very popular question... travel into the future is possible, but into the past is a complete impossibility, regardless of how advanced the technology is... The physical universe does not permit anything which presents an insurmountable paradox./
Travelling into the future would be possible through going into a coma, for example. Today you are asleep and tyhen you wake up perhaps a year in the future... this would be a form of travel in time.
There are other paradoxes to be sure, but they are not insurmountable, as I have shown in my book-- A NEW FORM OF ENERGY; ITS DESCRIPTION; ITS GENERATION; AND ITS APPLICATIONS'.
Time is judged by the rotation-speed of the planet, a simple way of time traveling is to run towards the direction in which the sun rises, this puts you moving faster than the sun than you normally would, therefore shortening your amount of sunlight.
Weirdly and mind-meltingly, the answer to this question is in fact that it really does seem to be possible. The implications of this are rather imponderable.

Not currently, and not very likely. But there is a small chance.
Only if you have a flux capacitor.
