Good question, maybe because they are there and we can see the past and our present but we cant see our future because to us its not there yet but to human TT's it is. Not sure...........maybe someone else can provide a view on that.

If we are living in the past, why do we see ancient ruins from previous civilizations?
Who knows, but something ain't what we are led to believe.

Hum? Does it have to be time travel? What if we are in a computer simulation of the times before these clever little monkey men figured how to become gods? You know, "monkey see, monkey do" for those (that means, "us aliens") to get an idea of how difficult it actually was for the clever little monkeys to do in the first place.
So yeah, it could be "time travel" but not in the sense I think you mean.
And I will go one more step over the edge. What if from within the simulation a group of people (scientists) have figured out how to hack back into the simulation and change things? So that is why we have Bernstein and Bernstain, Townsend and Townshend, etc.
Interesting suggestion but can you explain how that would work?

It would make more sense if we time traveled forward into the future, but then started over back at the stone age.
But what if they do exist and sometimes what people see and experienced is the overlapping of time, be that the present-past or the present-future? It would certainly explain a lot of paranormal stuff. I remember a story about someone in the US walking across a corn field of a region where US civil war battles were fought and seeing a troop of soldiers marching across the field. They apparently inquired into whether there was any activities taking place in that field at the time and so I understand there were none. This could be considered an example of present-past overlapping and if true then the past present and future are in continued existence all the time.

Thread of the night so far.
People claim that there is only the now, the past doesn't exist and neither does the future. So, time travel would be impossible if that is the case.
