For time travel, there is no open science, so it is: CIA/NSA-fi, (they know how to, but they have some practical problems with woodooo's tonton macoutes or their friends:-). You can class this in the bad "sci-fi" lot, with no science support. (My opinion: time is not a dimension, so time travel is nothing more than a play word).
