For example, cosmological theory has it that if you were a sentient being that lived on some other world in another galaxy far, far away, and owned a super telescope, depending on the relative velocities between your galaxy and our earth, you could still see when the dinosaurs walked th earth, or Marie Antoinette getting chopped, or Joe Sixpack picking his nose in the year 2020. So, on the whole, all events that ever were are there, it just depends on where and when you're viewing them from.

Due to the speed of light being constant, if an observer were to look at an object 20 light years away, the observer would see the object as it was 20 years ago. So, some observer 65 million light years away could potentially see dinosaurs if he had a hyper powerful telescope pointed at Earth.
However, light cannot travel back in time... the closest you can come to possibly seeing into the future would be events happening nearby at the instant you are watching them.
