It's possible to go to the speed of light. We can't just do it with the technology right now.

Ah, yes the likely hood of time travel that has any significants is slim. As I said before you could use the suns gravitational pull to build up your speed and there's plenty of Energy in the sun to burn.
Here's a cool site it has a calculator at the bottom which calculates time travel. Don't forget that if you are not on Earth you must take away the Earths time travel.

Here's and example. Mercury orbits the sun 15km/second faster than the Earth. This means if we were to live on Mercury we will age less than those back on Earth.
Mercury moves 15km/second faster than Earth this results in 1.0000000012517314 a second time travel or 0.039 seconds a year 
Also note 99% the speed of light results in a factor of 7.

Here's something more interesting. When an object orbits something its velocity is proportional to the mass of the object it orbits. I have calculated that if you where to orbit the sun at a distance of 1.5 km you would be traveling at 99% the speed of light. (Yes I know it's inside the sun) Using the momentum of the suns gravity it would be possible to obtain that orbit (assuming radiation, pressure and heat were not an issue).
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

It's not possible to go to the speed of light. The faster you go, the more mass you make. Mass = gravity. So it will come to a point where there's just too much gravity stopping you from going any faster.

99% the speed of light makes time go about 60 times slower for the object moving that speed.
No it doesn't. If someone was going 99% of the speed of light, then light would still pass him at the same speed it would if he was standing still. It's quantum physics.

Re: T/F: Time Travel Possible?
I think we would only be able to 'see' stuff in the past, but not teh future. You can't see what hasn't been :p. AND only 'experience' stuff in the past, like not being there, but seeing it.
Not that I wish it was this way, but it seems the only way for 'time travel' unless you call going super fast in a spaceship time travel lol, which is really just what seems like time travel... 'logically' Mr. Spock...
