Hes more than a hundred years too late. Einsteins Theory of Relativity showed that time travel is possible.
A few of Als key points, for anyone who is interested:
1. Time travel is possible, but into the future only.
2. All the time traveller need do is move. And the faster you move, the more you travel into the future.
3. Significant time travel only occurs when the object moves close to the speed of light.
This has all been verified experimentally. Atomic clocks were placed on fast jets. The jets then crossed vast distances. The clocks behaved just as Einsteins equations predicted they would.

Back in time must also go back in spatial location else you just end up in empty space along the spiraling twist the Earth has followed over time.
