Well, since this was posted in Science Memes, I'll be so pedantic that science does not support the idea of travelling back in time.

It does support travelling forwards in time, at various speeds, but you'll constantly be aware of where you are (even if one method involves travelling really fast and therefore may still leave you in empty space).

if you believe in the notion that the universe is cyclic then you can mimic time traveling backwards by traveling forwards, past the end of the universe, and stopping at just the right time in the new universe.

e.g., to get to 1700 you’d go (present time) -> (death of the universe) -> (1700 in next universe)

Futurama has an episode like that. It was a pretty good one.
