I think it's more correct to say that we don't know how to travel in the other direction on the time axis. It could also simply be our perception of time only works unidirectionally.

From a mathematics point of view, nothing is preventing going backwards in time... We simply don't perceive time that way.

Practically, this does nothing for us.
