Can speed ever make you travel through time — or does it only help you reach faster within the same timeline?

Hi, I'm not a scientist — just a student who thinks deeply. I want to share my own idea, and I genuinely want scientific feedback on it.

No matter how fast you move — even at the speed of light — I believe you're still traveling within time, not through time.

Let me explain with a simple example: If I need to reach a village by 4:00 PM, and I leave at 3:00 PM at normal speed, I’ll reach on time. If I leave late and increase my speed, I might still reach by 4:00 PM — but I’ll never reach before time itself. I'm only moving faster, not changing time.

Even if I travel to the Moon at the speed of light, I’ll reach fast — maybe in seconds — but the Moon still exists in my present. So it’s not time travel.

Speed might help us beat distance, but it cannot break time.

Unless someone can prove otherwise, I believe time travel is not real — at least, not in the way we imagine it in movies.

But I’m open to learn. Is there any scientific theory (besides time dilation) that truly supports time travel — backward or forward — as more than just a fantasy?
