Infinite energy is cheating. Same with travelling backwards in time.

My intuition tells me the universe doesn't allow cheaters.

But then I'm just an evolved bag of water cells clinging onto a clump of rock so what the fuck do I know?

Time travel is allowed for under our current models. Or rather, time travel doesn't affect most parts of the current models, so it's not cheating.

We can only time travel to the future or i am wrong?

Currently yes, but there's nothing inherent in there that's says there's no way for us to move backwards
