If time goes on for billions of years more, and space has trillions of stars that could support habitable planets, the probablility of discovering time travel at some point in the future goes up. It would seem like we should be seeing thousands of visitors from the future given these odds. Maybe this means there is no future.

The fact that somebody from the future hasn't visited us makes time travel less likely, but not impossible. It's interesting that modern physics theories actually seem to allow time travel to the past; building a time machine may prove to be technically or economically unfeasible, though.
There could even be some physically unavoidable restrictions on one's ability to travel (for example, in one theory, if the time machine is built in year 3000, a time traveller from 4000 could go back only as far as 3000).
You may want to read the Wikipedia article on time travel, it's fairly extensive.

I have seem some from the past so i do believe that somehow time travel is possible. Maybe we see them and do not know it. There could be rules if this is possible There is always a future though it could change drastically. Time travel could have been discovered in the past and then the ways to do so lost. You can travel to the future in dreams or astral travel. I won't say any more on this subject.

how do we know that we haven't been visited by people from the future? mayb it could be like from the short story A Sound Of Thunder. Maybe they think that if they disrupt our way of life, then that would change the future. We can never be too sure...

A very interesting proposition.

Maybe in the future they have proven that interference in the past changes the outcome. Maybe they have laws against or other ways of preventing time travelers from revealing themselves to people of our day.

I really wish I knew this one. Thanks for asking it. I'm going to dream about this tonight!

hello this is your future calling .well as usual no one home, nah just kidding.time travel does not exist the simple of this is that there is no such thing as time .time was alimit that man has adopted and regulated or better yet LABELED himself into accepting.travel is possible to set into motion a particle nomatter its makeup has been established

wow, there are sooooo....many flaws of logic here that it is seems like a waster of time to answer this 'question'.

But instead I will answer with a question: why don't you do something about guaranteeing the world's future by cutting down on pollution, instead of just wondering *if* there will be a future.

How do you know we haven't been ALREADY visited by ppl from teh future, they might have just come and gone, not interupting our lives, so as to not to change the FUTURE in any ways!!

Maybe we will meet people from the future soon though. Or maybe we will visit the past...
