Quote: Because we haven't invented yet and time travellers cannot travel backNo, it's because you would have to travel faster than light, which you can't do, because it becomes exponentially harder to generate the energy needed.(IE, it will never cross the line because it's looping upward.)
in time to before their invention was created as there would be nothing
to travel too.
Traveling forward in time, however, is quite easy.

There was actually plenty before the "Dawn of Time", as we humans created a system of measurements(Algebra; counting, etc), it makes sense that one of them would be the passage of events; time. Time is relative.

Time, Dr. Scraper?
Is it really that time again?
RE: Time? - Yuhaney - 09-27-2012
Not yet.
RE: Time? - Ghieri - 09-27-2012
Nothing that ever will happen is happening, because it will happen...
...but not right now.
Just like nothing that will happen has happened yet.

Does that even make any sense?

I think he was just throwing tenses in there to try and confuse everybody.

In seriousness, I think what I said was partially correct, in the sense that if something is about to happen, and then it happens, it's no longer about to happen. In fact, it has now reached the point of "has happened" and no longer "will happen" in the span of typing this sentence. This of course looks at individual instances of the action. Instead of "The sun will rise" it is "the sun will rise today". Keeping that in mind, I think I was not incorrect.

Isn't that more of common sense than a theory?

...and yeah, I was just using tenses to confuse people, while trying to be factually accurate at the same time.
SCIENCE!
