Given that no-one has ever claimed to be from the future?

Question

Does it mean time travel never gets invented?

Answer 1

Or that time travel only works going forward.

Or that time travel only allows a consciousness to go back, but is unable to interact, only observe.

Or that the possibility of a time pardox is so strong that a time traveller is simply unable to influence ANY changes. Example, a time traveler appears, but has no memory of his future origins.

Or that time travel creates another of those paralell universes, one in which the traveler's original universe is not the same one to which he travels. In other words, time travel is not possible, only in OUR universe.

Or that the one guy that invented time travel found it was only a one way trip, and no one believed him. Perhaps he went back and got killed.

Or that it WAS (will have been?) invented, but not here.

Or that is in not possible in our universe, but is quite a simple process in another.

Einstein once admitted that, "E = MC squared, but it may only be a local phenomenon."

Answer 2

Thought about this question a few times and come up with the same theory........there is a first time for everything and we must live in some kind if funky parallel universe.

In other words even if time travel were possible we wouldn't necessary know about it because the traveller would go back in time to his/her alternate past. Any changes made to past events would change his/her future a parallel future to the world as we currently know it.

Don't even know if this makes sense and i can't be bothered to read it back to myself (wine is taking hold).

We will invent time travel if we don't blow each other up first, we just might not know about it.

Answer 3

I'm sure many people have claimed to be from the future. No one has believed said claims. And if any paradox theories hold true then anyone from the future would NOT interact with the past so as not to upset the balance of the future.

Answer 4

The John Titor thing is one of those internet rumour / conspiracies that a few people got excited about but then died down.

Time travel is a theoretica possibility, but a practical impossibility, as proved by Einstein.

Answer 5

i don't believe on this earth that time travel exists.

everything that you can see touch, smell NOW is in the present.
everything that u COULD smell see etc is in the past.
and every thing that u are going to see smell etc is in the future.
and if everything that exists(not existed and not will exist)only exists in the present then the past does not exist and the future does not exist.but the past DID exist and the future WILL exist.
therefore, time travel doesn't exist because all that exists only exists in the PRESENT.

Answer 6

http://www.ufodigest.com/aprilfool.html Click on this link. This guy claims to be from the future. It seems impossible but we don't know if someone will figure it out in the future.

Answer 7

No. They lied to us.

Their Travel Agent from Time Central is a really nice guy called Pete Rabb . . . . .

Answer 9

Of course there is time travel - and we have all experienced it.

It's called Deja Vous

Answer 10

If someone came from the future, they wouldn't identify themselves because that would cause a cataclysm.
