Well, there's the cute answer and the serious answer.

Cute answer: "YES!" Just sit down in this chair and stare at the clock. See the second hand going around? You're traveling into the future!!

Serious answer: "no." Has anybody proved this? Don't have to, because nobody has proved that it CAN happen. Nobody has come up with a PRACTICAL way of doing it. Yes, mathematicians have come up with equations that show it is theoretically possible, but only if you can manipulate black holes, convert trillions of tons of matter into pure energy in mere nanoseconds, create spinning bars of pure neutronium several light years in length and on and on. If you can't do these things, then the Laws of Physics give no hope at all of time travel.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
