Given that time-travel is theoreticaly possible, there's really nothing standing in our way other than figuring out how to do it.
Now...There are no time-travelers from the future around.
Given our current rate of technilogical advance, I think that we should be able to time-travel in the next 100 years. So it's my conclusion that sometime in the near future, we are going to die before we reach that capability.
Fair assumption?

Okay dude we aren't on star trek here. It's theoretically possible in science fiction and just because you think it might happen in the next 100 years isn't really a great argument that it will. Moreover, it's likely that even if time travel were possible and humans figure it out in 10000 years or something they would not come back here an polute the time line as it may hurt them in the future.

Depends.. what if the first few successful attempts lead to devistating events in the past.
What if Hitler was from the future and decided to come back to the past to "take over"?
What if enough of these events happened that either Time travel was banned, regulated, or deemed too destructive.
OR what if there is time travel but certain Rules needs to be accepted and followed to permit the travel to occur. Maybe there is a screening process to ensure who ever travels will not interfere with the past (present).
HMmmmm

That's a very interesting query. It would be hard to say. On one hand you'd think everything happening today is going to be in future history books. And given all the crap that's going on in the world a person from the future wouldn't want to return to today's era for fear of getting killed (by terrorists, criminals, WMD, etc.). But on the other hand a person might want to come back to today's era and attempt to prevent the string of events that got this world in the bad state it's in now. But also by doing that it might throw certain events off like say that person's father would have lived through the Iraq war but if the war had never happened that same guy would've got killed at a convenient store robbery hence that person would never have been born. Now there's something to ponder!

There are several theories having to do with time travel. One being that if you went back in time and killed your mother before you were born you would create an alternate dimension in which you never existed. But the dimension in which you do exists is still present, but in that dimension you never killed your mother, or even really went back in time. So people from the future might be coming back in time, but they are doing so with other dimensions form our own.

Not necessarily. If someone were indeed from the future, why would the go about boasting as such? They'd either be taken as a nutcase and locked up, or if they could prove it, the government would take them away to sequester them for information.

They is a very interesting inference to make. lol I think that if someone came out and said that they were from the future we would put them in the looney bin! so maybe they are hiding the truth from everyone. Kind of like the Cone heads!

I feel once they say Jesus died for our sins, in spite of being involuntarily murdered (I'm now not wholly definite there may be this type of factor as "voluntary homicide, honestly), is when you consider that he did not relatively battle again. He allow them to pass forward and kill him for preaching his ideals. Christians have unhealthy emotions closer to Judas when you consider that Judas was once a traitor. He grew to become Jesus in for breaking Roman regulation. They have unhealthy emotions towards the Romans when you consider that the Romans had been ridiculous in imposing legislation. If Jesus by no means died, the faith could nonetheless exist. Just when you consider that Jesus "by no means died", doesn't suggest that, after his traditional demise, Paul don't have long past round preaching his factor. And Chrisitianity, actually, is only a sub-department of Judaism. Jesus was once only a radical preacher of the Jewish religion. If he "hadn't died", we might all simply be Jews.

Don't you just love it, the way Homo erecti pretend knowledge of the most advanced scientific theories of our time, then declare which of them are right and which are wrong, and then go a few steps past what anybody knows today by confidently declaring that such-and-such will be discovered, or become possible, but this or that date?

Time travelers are among us but your time line is all wrong. it will take a million years to discover safe and effective time travel. in that time, humans will evolve. They will shrink in size and life span to facilitate the trillions of human beings on the planet and will grow wings to alleviate overcrowding on the ground. the next time that you kill a common house fly, realize that you have killed a highly evolved human time traveler.

Unfortunately one would have to travel faster than the speed of light to get in front of time to see it coming at you. Therefore, for any living body it is physically IMpossible to travel at the speed of light, You cannot, therefore time-travel.
