I agree, time travel is impossible and absurd.

This should be as close to an absolute as possible.

Why not? You're effectively saying that the Universe has a particular 
form, one in which your proof works. That's akin to a circular argument. 
Maybe the universe does have such a form, and time travel really is 
impossible, but you have no proof of that.

"The Theory and Practice of Time Travel" (Niven) posits that you can not
change the past. That depends.

Changing the objective past, as various theories of history see it, is a
tough nut to crack. But you can still take software/data back to an
objective past state and introduce a change to it.

In regards to the subjective past, people can suppress/repress memories
to effectively change their own past. They can even use No Contact [1]
if necessary (it works even if their grandfather isn't a narcissist)
along with suppression/repression to kill their own grandfather in their
own mind.

How to travel into the future:

* Arrow of Time
    "Every second of every day I travel one second into the future."
       - Ed Lake

* Asymmetric travel enables you to enter a state of suspended animation
  and travel into the future at an accelerated rate. (Niven talks about
  this.)

How to travel into the past:

* The further out you look out into firmament the further back you see.
    "seeing into the past without the ability to change it." - HGW

* Software offers many methods to travel to a past state: Windows system
  recovery, database rollbacks, git/cvs rollbacks.

* Organic memory allows you to travel back into your past to relive
  sensory input.

* Repression/suppression allows you to change your subjective past.

* History allows people to travel back into the past to experience
  limited sensory input (eg the sight and sounds of the past).

That's a different argument. But maybe the reason no time traveller from 
the far future has come here is that there is no far future from which 
to come - civilisation wipes itself out - humans become extinct due to 
natural disaster, etc.

Where did you get this idea "civilisation wipes itself out", and "humans become extinct"? a crystal ball??

They're merely possibilities. Since they are possible, you cannot use 
the non-existence of time travellers from the future as proof that time 
travel is impossible.

So, you actually believe that it is possible that a whole "civilisation" can be wiped out?? How??? Can you give an example?


Also, I don't see any signs of 'humans becoming extint', ...what signs do you see, Mrs Else?

Nearby supernova, collision between black-holes somewhere in the 
galactic neighbourhood, large comet collision with Earth, worldwide 
nuclear war, biological weapons, runaway global warming, return to 
ice-ball Earth. The list of possibilities is endless.

Well, for the most part there wouldn't be any signs, because it wouldn't 
be a gradual process.

I wrote "an example" not 'examples'...

lets take one of your examples: "large comet collision with Earth".

It has never in the past happen to wipe out a whole cilivization, maybe
a few ants...it's speculation, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR SPECULATION. Your
so-called
theories are useless today. They are nothing more than science fiction
ideas.

Of course human civilisation has never been wiped out - if it had been, 
then we'd not be here to discuss it (a variation of the anthropic 
principle). That means that we have no idea of the probability of its 
happening. Perhaps it's quite likely, and we've just been very lucky.

The Earth has been hit by large objects in the past, causing mass 
extinctions. It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that such a thing 
could happen again, and be severe enough to wipe out the human race.

You've sought to characterise the absence of visitors from the future as 
proof that time travel is impossible. "Proof" is a strong word. To prove 
something you need to exclude not just likely counter-examples, but all 
possible counter-examples. You're nowhere near being able to do that.

Sylvia.

Wrong.
If you list all the "we've just been very lucky"...it will turn out it's not Luck.

Yes, "Proof" is a strong word...not inside the vocalubulary of the 'scientific community'. "Maybe" is the word they worship.

If you're content with may be impossible, or even probably impossible, 
then that's fine. Just don't claim to have proved that it's impossible, 
when you haven't.

I understand...yous people in the 'scientific community' are not allowed
to Think of the "not possible", or "impossible".


It just makes yous sound smarter to say all the possibilities...that's
called 'ad hoc theories'.

Like, "of course there are time travellers, they are just in another
universe!"




But i never read a science fiction book, i leave in a real world...only
one earth, only one universe.


I'm also not a doom and gloomer...that's yous department. 


Your logic says there are no time travlers because the comet killed
them.

In an episode of "Dinosaurs" a school teacher explained that there will 
always be more of an endangered animal species, because that's what 
"more" means.

Is that your manner of thinking here?

No it's doesn't, and I'm having a hard time understanding why you've got 
this so muddled.

The point at issue is not whether there are no time travellers for this 
reason, nor even whether time travel is possible. The focus is on 
whether your purported proof of the absence of time travel is valid.

I'm offering alternative scenarios that explain the absence of time 
travellers even if time travel is possible. These possible, even if 
unlikely, scenarios invalidate your proof which depends on the 
impossibility of time travel being the only possible explanation for the 
absence of time travellers.

Sylvia.
