What if we’re in a no-landing zone of the world’s timeline?

[joshuapatel]

I believe most people here are familiar with the “If time travel exists why haven’t we seen people/ships from the future?”.

However, one way around that scenario is that for some reason, Time Traveling to our period os forbidden/unauthorized or simply impossible due technical limitations?

Forbidden/unauthorized: We might be in a super sensitive period of humanity’s period and whoever has jurisdiction over time travel regulations simply cannot afford any sort of mishaps or alteration to the timeline because how delicate the situation is right now. (Terrorism, hoaxes, political unrest, possible world war, etc). They don’t wanna risk some random time travelers screwing something up.

Impossible: Maybe the vehicle/machine that allows time travel is dependent on a certain type of fuel/tech that we do not possess yet and traveling to any time period prior to us acquiring said fuel/tech/etc would be suicide and/or is unattainable.

There is also the belief that if you were to go back in time you would create a divergence thus a new reality where you have gone back in time and the response to your appearance is independent of that reality and the reality you left would continue on its own path. This also ties into the belief that the world is simulation and time travel would simply be you creating new code eg copy and pasting old code with changes that you choose to make thus making it quite a powerful tool. It could also possibly be the idea that dimensions are rings overlapping around a spherical shape where divergence would simply create a new ring or set you on a new track.

Okay, based on a casual meta-analysis of the topic of time travel, I will assert that every notion or theory about time travel leads us to some logical contradiction or physical paradox.

If that is indeed the case, then it can only be because we do not understand the true nature of that which we refer to as time.

So what is time? Does it have objective reality or, as Issac Asimov once proposed in an essay, is it just a subjective sense of duration, or does it have elements of both?

So what is time?

There, right there, is the crux of it.
