You forget that the imagined time dilation is relative. So when you travel
away from earth at high speed you gain 10 minutes, but you lose it the
moment you stop. But theres more. When you travel away from earth at
light speed the earth is moving away from you at light speed. So you
gain 10 minutes but then so do the people on the earth. So you gain
nothing.
 
There is only one time and that is now. Time travel is not possible.
