Or are we too stupid to realise what to do?

Yeah but maybe no one wants to come back from the future to this time now..............cause we suck.

technically it already has on a very small scale (seconds and minutes) but on a large scale...its gonna take awhile :P
The link below can tell you about the small scale "time travel" used with atomic clocks.

I am not sure what beyond the future is!
If you attach a watch to your wrist, you will only ever experience the hands (or the digital equivalent of hands) of the watch moving forward at one second per second (unless the battery goes flat!).
Now, one second per second is a dimensionless quantity. It is like moving at one metre per metre or one foot per foot!
So since "travel" implies movement, and since movement is not measured in time, "time travel" is a meaningless concept.
"Time" is purely a creation of the human memory. If you could not remember what happened a millisecond ago or beyond, then you would have no concept of the existence of time. We don't live in the past and we don't live in the future.....we live in the here and now.
So, in order to travel through time, we must first find another dimension to measure the travel by. For example, if we invented the "mez", then we could travel through time at say, one second per mez, or perhaps 10 seconds per mez. So as long as we travelled for a mez, we would be 10 seconds "ahead" of where we were.
Anyway, this is getting way too confusing, even for a Mez!

Wouldn't we already know it by now if it was discovered ever? As they would have come back through time and interacted through us.
On an interesting side note, Google John Titor. He's supposedly a time traveller from the future who was sent on a specific mission. No one has really been able to prove him wrong.

No, it's not possible. A student at M.I.T. proved it was impossible through a very creative solution.
He marketed a Time Travel Convention, where people from all future times could come back and meet. Nobody showed up.

Yes, I believe it can happen, once we are able to figure out how to travel at the same speed as light. Just think, perhaps 100 years ago people were probably asking, "Do you think we will ever walk on the moon." Give it time, someone will think of how to accomplish it.

I could easily say not within our life time
