This is isn't really an accurate description. Under Special Relativity,
we can, essentially, move forward in time at any rate we please. Simply
moving gets us through time at different effective rates. The time
effects in special relativity can be interpreted in a few different
ways, but as far as net effect goes, travelling at fast velocities is
automatically time travel into the future. We don't actually do anything
to build such a time machine. We cant prevent it happening. That is, if
we go very fast relative to say, the motion of the earth, like go away
and come back, it is usually phrased as time travels slower for the
traveller. The actual reality is that earth would have "aged" on, and we
would not have "aged". This *is* time travel into the future. Its going
backwards in time that's the tricky bit.

Time is simply a note that the same object can exist in different
places. That is, objects move.
