Forward only?

Pre-internet traveler comes to "now" and promptly starts tweeting about events that haven't yet happened?

I think I see a flaw in the reasoning...

They should go to the big foot searchers and get their help. Maybe do a series of reality tv specials. But give the sask-kooks searchers a chance to find him/her/it.

I’ve long known there isn’t any such thing as time travel for the simple reason that I didn’t notice strangers discretely watching me when I was growing up.

"The result of their efforts: no time travelers were discovered."

I am shocked. Dismayed. Gobsmacked even. /s
As Dr. Arthur C. Clarke once said: "You can't travel into the past. It's already gone. And, you can't travel into the future because it hasn't happened yet."

RE “Searching the Internet for evidence of time travelers” was submitted on December 26 on ArXiv by authors Robert Nemiroff, professor of physics, and Teresa Wilson, a PhD candidate. They stated that the modern universality of the Internet lends itself to in-depth analysis methods to search for time travelers, and that the study they conducted is by and large the most comprehensive to date. “

The secrets of time travel were discovered in the 1960s by Irwin Allen.

Of course there is always this utube video purportedly showing a woman using a cell phone in a 1938 movie:

If you take the premise that it is not possible to travel back to a time before the time travel machine was built....then there can be no evidence until someone actually does it. The the internet will be flooded with all sorts of evidence.

Our founding fathers were time travelers. They accurately knew how people would be acting today and warned us about it. We were to stupid to listen.
I found the travelers and didn’t spend hundres of thousands of dollars and years to do it.

There is no time travel. You'll just annoy the future by trying to find it.

It’s true!

I tried logging into the Obamacare website and was transported back to Russia in 1917.

I tried to go to the town of Morrow but since it’s an overnight trip I kept going to the town of Day.

Did my tax dollars pay for this ‘study?’

How about looking for evidence of Facebook in Shakespeare’s writings? Or Twitter in W.B.Yeats’ writings?
makes as much sense.

Or maybe the Bible contains references to Healthcare.gov.

Ridiculous.

The “future” does not exist. It’s a convenient way of saying “what is going to happen.” You can’t “go” to the future, except by waiting patiently, along with everyone else in the world, for the future to come.

I stopped to look at a guy that looked a lot like me thus avoiding an out of control vehicle. Chance?

I’m going to see if I can go back in time about an hour and a half and post something further up the thread.
