Time travel is impossible

Since no one from the future has ever 'visited' us, I think it is safe to say that time travel will never be possible.

what about that thing where you can only travel back in time as far as the date when the time travel machine was first invented?
or something like that.
then we would but we havent invented it yet so we dont know.

Everything's possible with less logic and more magic.

There isnt a theory to disprove time travel.

Time viewing is possible if you can travel faster than the speed of light.

Just need to find the ministry of magic and ask the department of mysteries of they have a time turner spare.
On a more serious note, I disagree. If time travel is invented there is a good chance that the governments will crack down on it very quickly. It will have to be invented either by a defense agency or university because only they will have the technology to do it and either organization would have to report to the government. Surely the governments of the world would not let just anybody travel in time and they surely would see the consequences of sending a person who would blab about it - such as a barrage of questions, most likely some scientific studies or maybe even a trip to a psychiatric hospital. Just because no one has said they are from the future doesn't mean no one is from the future.

Actually, several people have claimed to be from the future - I forget particular names but they turn up every few years. They usually get dismissed as insane (probably are :sadnod:

) but they are around.

Besides, as has been mentioned, it's the theory that they'll only be able to travel back to the moment they first invent one. Which is still bloody impressive!
