      Beating the speed of light seems to be the only way to really time travel, and that’s not possible.

      There are wild conjectures about holes in space that could achieve it, but I haven’t read into them enough to know if they actually have merit (I highly doubt they do, or they at least aren’t practical).

      Then again theres the cheating method, whereby I can technically travel in time just a little bit (relative to you) by going on a plane, traveling at speed will cause a minor amount of time dilation meaning I will have “lost” or “gained” a little time in comparison to you.
