Forward time travel is indeed a possibility and within the laws of physics. In fact at very small scales it is occurring every time one of us takes a plane trip somewhere or other. Basically it goes like this...the faster one travels through space, the slower one travels through time.

Time travel into the past is another kettle of fish and probably not viable, as one would need to go faster then light.

Kip explains it far better then I.....https://plus.maths.org/content/time-travel-allowed
