Let me be a science geek for the moment and point out that time travel into the future is possible. If you could travel near the speed of light (~186,000 miles per sec) time would slow significantly for you relative to us back here on earth. After you returned from your trip it would seem that a relatively short time period had elapsed - and you would find that a longer time period had elapsed on earth. You'd have essentially traveled into the future (Einstein's special theory of relativity). Unfortunately time travel into the past is impossible and leads to problems with causality (what if you killed your parents before you were born, etc.).
