If there is a future that you could travel to then that means we probably have created a time machine in the future and we are traveling back to us.

I dont understand what you mean by that. How can we travel to the future when it hasnt already happened yet? Unless you believe in destiny and our lives are already mapped out, which would mean that the other thoery of time travel would be totaly disregarded , IE: such as alternate realities... since that involves infinate universes and infinate decisions would branch off for each timeline/universe

Great head breaking topic! I love these kinds of topics that really stretch the thought processes.

You cannot travel back in time before you existed! Nor can you go back in time and meet yourself. I would say that travelling forward in time is possible, though. But even that would raise other problems in itself...

How about if every thing happened all at once? I mean the big bang, the big (crunch?) and every thing in-between happened in one supreme instant.
We only experience the passing "of time" cos that is the level of our comprehension.
Damn I think I’ve just solved all unexplained mysteries what do we talk about now?

Yes thats true in a way, we experience time based on our watch, clock, calender etc, Time itself is not linear like how we percieve it. Just as Xerimethius speculated, maybe whats happened has happened or what ever is going to happen is unchangable.

Yeah...but it's a time machine..so if you couldn't go back in time it would kinda defeat the purpose, don't you think?

So you can only travel as far ahead into the future as you live? How would your person die if you a time traveling?
