The fact that this never happened suggests that either time machines will never be constructed in our future or that their creators have no interest in saving human lives.

It suggests the author has no imagination. The past-present-future we exist in may be the optimum universe, with all other universe possibilities being much worse.

We exist on a timeline.

There is only one timeline.

You travel along that timeline in one direction.

You travel along that timeline at a constant speed.

You cannot leave that timeline......................

Have there ever been “plausible” incidents of time travel-like events happening in our times? A visitor of some sort who blatantly presents as out of place, with artifacts or knowledge that they should not have? I’m thinking that if in the future, time travel becomes possible and somewhat frequent, then either there is little interest in visiting “us” in our time or the time-travellers are very good at remaining in low profile mode?

Both the author - and Prof. Pangloss.

I could not agree with you more. That fact that Hitler was allowed to do what he did could have been much better than what someone he eliminated would have been allowed to do. There are so many possibilities that it is impossible to even think of them.

Experiments with atomic clocks on jet airplanes prove that time is relative so that at least perceived time is different depending on where you are and how fast you are moving. There is a lot we don’t know, yet.

I believe in God, a God that can exist in the past, present and future. I don’t know that He does exist or travel in time or occupy all at once but believe He knows the future from the past which is more than my feeble self can do. So I have to believe that some sort of time manipulation exists. A good friend of mine who passed away a few weeks ago believed that time is a construct that God made especially for us humans. I don’t see that but maybe my imagination is not advanced enough to see that.
