Maybe photons can't travel any faster because they would go backwards in time stopping them from going any faster.

Basically, yeah. The abovementioned fact that the speed of light is always the same has as a direct consequence that your time would have to stand still if you're going at the speed of light.

That just means that photons don't age as they traverse the Universe...
