Scientist theorize that as objects approach the speed of light, time slows down. Therefore, scientists can use particle accelerators to accelerate atoms to close to the speed of light as in an atomic clock. Theoretically, if they allow the continual acceleration of this particle over time, when it comes back to "our time" it will be "younger" than particles that were not accelerated around it, hence TIME TRAVEL.
Time and Space are intertwined--i.e., the space/time continuum. In order to travel in time, you have to warp that continuum. Certain things we know now are powerful enough to literally "BEND" space and time. Those things are black holes.
There's so much more to this.

Nevermind, you already took what I was gonna say...
BUT there is something else to this as well...
There is no human object that can even move close to the speed of light. Not even close. We can get to the speed of sound, but thats like a third of the way there.
And even if a human could move up to the speed of light, it's not neccessarily time travel. Let's say you get on a ship that can travel at the speed of light...you wanna go to the Andromeda Galaxy, the closest galaxy to our Milky Way. So you press the button and then ZOOM! Your there in what seems like minutes, because time has no effect on you. The Andromeda Galaxy is 1,700,000 light years away...you being in the Andromeda Galaxy would mean, you moving at the speed of light, 1,700,000 years have passed.
There is a different theory on travelling long distances. Black holes is the perfect example. A black hole is an enormous star that has collapsed. All the electrons and protons have collapsed together into nuetrons...as in all the mass of a giant star in a ball about 10 Km...or about 7 miles...in radius. Your talking about a lot of fuckin matter in one spot. The thing is, scientists don't know what comes out on the other end of a black hole...
But there is a theory on that as well. Pulsars...these objects far into space are enourmous amounts of energy. In one second a Pulsar gives off more energy than our sun would in ten thousand years.
The theory is that Pulsars are the other end of a black hole...that a black hole could actually bend space because of so much gravitational force.
If we were able to get enough matter into one place, we could created a bend in the universe, i.e a wormhole.
Good day.
