  • The technology will never exist.
  • The Earth dies before the technology could exist
  • There are more interesting times to go to than our present day
  • They already are time travellers, we just don't know about them
  • Time travelling creates an alternate timeline that we are not part of

Even if, somehow, it was possible, you'd simply enter an alternate timeline/universe. Due to the grandfather paradox, it would be impossible to return to your original timeline.

Assuming it was actually possible, branching timelines make much more sense than a stable singular timestream. It would likely create a new branch the second you arrive back, so it could be literally impossible to travel back to your actual past.

wont happen until someone invents the time machine, at that point the portal will stabalize and you'll see thousands/millions of people from the future come tumbling out.

Why would the world allow people to travel openly like that? The government of the future would put restrictions on it. Time travel is very dangerous to society. Only trusted people would be allowed to do it

Bro. Y'all wouldn't believe if someone was a time traveller even if they provided evidence. Everyday some of y'all get provided with evidence of continual government corruption and still don't see what's in front of your eyes about the left and right not giving a shit about y'all. And yet some of you still play to tribalism. Constantly getting manipulated by the same tricks. So if there was a time traveller or hell even Jesus returning you all wouldn't believe it anyway.

I bet you don't believe we were the first to land on the Moon.

The time orb/capsule doesn't exist yet

When the orb/capsule does exist that's when time travel becomes a thing, but we will be unable to travel back to a time before the orb/capsule was created

And that's why we don't have time travellers yet

None of the theories from any movie seem like they would work and they generally force those to work for the plot.

Yes, I think time travellers would require a receiver in the time they are travelling to.

What if the past is already altered and we just don't know it and accept these changes as facts like we never knew the difference. Could also explain the mandela effect.

I don't really believe that, but it's something.

Time travel will always be science fiction.

We might invent cryosleep and you suspend yourself and wake up in the future but actual jumping through time forwards or backwards? Nah.

My "best" guess would be that time travel doesn't work like we assume it does.

We assume it is a straight line we can travel forwards and backswards upon, visiting previous moments in that line.

I doubt it is like that, which I assume is why that even if it is invented down the line, no one can travel back to this moment where we are.

That's it, that's the word I was looking for

It's like a train with only the departing station existing for now, but it's coming

Or a more simple analogy is a telephone. You can't call a place with your telephone if that place doesn't also have a telephone.
