... or at least never noticed any of them visiting us?
I was just thinking, if humans can ever travel back in time then it's reasonably safe to say that they would visit during this century or the last century. But then again if they impacted our times enough then perhaps it would alter the path of time enough such that they would have never gone back in time in the first place or at least their time-travelling would have been different which would then negate the previous visit and so on... What do you guys think? Confusing stuff...

We really have no way of knowing whether we have been visited from the future, because if we knew then that would mean that the visitor has changed the course of time.
While I think time travel may some day be possible, I would like to think that humans would have the sense to know that its only real value would be to have the opportunity to see events as they happened, not to change them. There is absolutely no way that someone from the future could be sure that changing ANYTHING, no matter how big or small, wouldn't dramatically alter his/her own time. Even moving some small object from one table to another could, under some circumstance, set off a whole chain of events that could ultimately lead to no future at all.

This is an interesting subject because when we look up we see many stars or celestial bodies (depending on location ie.. non orange county ca.) . What is hard to fathom is the farther we see into space the more we look back in time. The Hubble telescope has picked up many images of red shift aka. the beginning of time or the so called big bang theory. Since space is expanding and there are so many hundreds of thousands and more other galaxies it is ridiculous to think we are the only ones. They are now sending radio frequency into space because it travels far faster than any man made machine. They said in an astronomy magazine I was reading that by the year 2015 we are going to hear a response. It is just a matter of time. Many physicists are discovering mathematical equations to solve the bending or travel in or back in time. It might not be in our life time but maybe our children's or even their children's. It still remains unsolved. Worm holes may make time travel a possibilities but those as well remain skeptical. I could go on and on about this subject but I must cut it short to travel my happy self to work in the morning. Keep dreaming my friend and that gives us hope.
Later,

I analyze it this way:
What if all those UFO sightings we thought as aliens were actually humans from the future? They are watching us now, probably abduct us to make research (like we would do if we found new species of living things), maybe some memory check, went back in time, watching and abduct again, and so on and so on, until they arrive at certain time where humans don't know so much about aliens and they just don't care. They live in peace and harmony and work together to build some monument and tell what they see with sculpture and stuff (like the temple of Maya or the pyramid). And that makes us think that people from the past actually have the ability to predict the future. They probably met that Nostradamus guy too.

Time is just a measurement. And The past can only be remembered or put down on text or saved on by photo or video. ....And the future has not come apon us for it is has not happened. One can change the future but not the past. On a nother note. belive it or not but any one person can change the future of another even if you never met that person and that person is on the other side of the word. It is a domino effect we live. But today and every day herein after we will always dream of going back in time or dream of what the future may hold. You are a creator of the future, Your future and of others.
Also for any one who has the question on traveling the speed of light changes time, well it don't. It don't matter how fast you go time will never change. Just means you are going darn fast and gonna get there faster.
P.S. I am allways open for chat.

I am not a physicist but according to Einstein travel into the future is possible moving at or close to the speed of light through space it would be possible to come back to the earth in the future while just aging a little bit the only problem is right now we dont have the technology to do this so I figure if moving near the speed of light can make you go into the future does that mean moving at the speed of dark you can go into the past and what exactly is the opposite of the speed of light? to many questions come into play about moving into the past.

1. Time travel is probably impossible.
2. Even if it was possible, who'd want to go back in time? Would you want to live in a time when toilets were holes in the ground and you only got to bath once a week in the river? I'm sure the future is so cool, they don't want to come back in time.
3. Time travel is only for the rich and famous and the rich are too comfy in their present time while the famous are too caught up in scientology to care.

Havn't you seen 'Back to the Future'? Or Terminator? they should answer all your question as to why people (if they could) would never travel back in time. You could alter the past resulting in a TERRIBLE future. Or (like what happened in the BttF) you could alter the past so that you would never be born! But then you wouldn't have been able to ever travel back in time in the first place, which means your parents WOULD produce you, which means you WOULD travel back in time, which means your parents WOULDN'T produce, which means you WOULDN'T travel back in time, which means your parents WOULD produce you!!!! AAAAAHHHH!
I thinks its called the time travel paradox. Perhaps if that happened, the universe would be stuck in a perpetual loop?!

maybe that is the ufos that have been seen since the beginning of man.. but maybe they can but dont..or maybe there are laws governing the time that they cannot interfere because of paradox ..meaning they could change everything with just one thing or maybe there is no future beings and no time travel or maybe there was some truth to stargate.. or maybe we are all in a dream and there is no reality or maybe we will never be able to time travel or maybe there was time travel and the future was destroyed.. who knows its a mystery but great one huh?

Time travelers would fan out from every part of the universe.
Billions would cover every era time and again,we sure would know about them,I would have been all over the place and told every one!

Have you ever seen a fly rub his "hands" together mischievously? That right there is a sign insects have an evil plan. They want us to think they're stupid and glorify sacrificing yourself for the greater good. One day... they will have their way with us and we'll be the ones avoiding the swatter. ... Ignore me. I've been drinking.
