Actually, this isn't fiction: as far as contemporary physics knows 
now, time travel to the future but not back is definitely possible.  
The only limitation to this type of time travel is its current 
technological impossibility.  But it is known that if you travel 
close enough to the speed of light, you could go as far into the 
future as you want; there is just no proven way of returning to your 
present.
