If time travel was possible, where are all the time travellers from the future? They would be everywhere.

Just to be hypothetical . . . what if the future only exists when we get there. So the time travel can only go into the past.

Sounds weird, but think of it this way. With some video games, even when you reach level 2, you can still play level 1 . . . but not level 3 until you achieve something. Maybe that's the way it will be with time travel . . . the past is level 1, the present level 2, and the future level 3. You can't actually get to the future until it naturally occurs and becomes the present.

UFO's are the obvious answer - except I believe those are extra dimensional vehicles, not time travelers....

Time is God's way of keeping everything from happening at once.

I've always believed that you could not go back further in time than the day the time machine was invented.

Therefore, since there are no 'time' machines, there can be no 'travelers'.

I already read this article next week.

Late 70's early 80's. Sweet time for me.

Modern science cannot give a definition of time.

Time n A nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future

Boy are you guys in for a suprise.

[Red Badger]

When does the Future begin? At what point is the Past passed? Today is yesterday's future and tomorrow's past. One second is gone and another is yet to be. Reality is only now, and it's over............

where are all the reports of strangely dressed people witnessing all of history's great events?

[Larry Lucido]

I can time travel, but so far I can only go forward.

also known as a "paradox" like in the movie "Millenium"

Haven't seen the tourist guy in a long time. I heard he was standing next to the wheelchair lady in France.

Nah, there's probably certain periods in history that are more popular than others. Everyone would want to go back to the birth of Christ; no one would want to go back to the late 1970's.

Hmmm. Late 1970's . . . after the creation of birth control pills but before the onset of HIV/AIDS. May be a sad statement on humanity, but the late 1970's might be a more popular destination than the birth of Christ.

no one would want to go back to the late 1970's.

Stayin' Alive is the most popular song right now in the 43rd century. It's all the fad. It is so retro. :-)

Damn, I missed it!
