Funny you mention this.
I just watched "Memento" again today and it brought up this very point indirectly. It is a movie about a guy who suffers from brain damage that makes him not be able to retain short term memory. You could talk to him and as soon as he is not concentrating on you, he instantly forgets who you are.
The moral of the story was, without time, one can't heal and learn. He doesn't know time past a few minutes. He says "It's like waking up confused. He remembers everything before the accident. It's not like amnesia. He was looking for the murderer of his wife...and had to remember everything with polariods and tatoos of the things he needs to remember....
Guy Pierce, Carrie Moss....good movie.
Anyway, I believe we can time travel. We are doing it right now. Maybe people just need to reconsider what the transportation actually is. Physical time travel I don't believe is possible, with out stopping time for the traveler. For instance, if the traveler were to go backwards, what would stop the traveler from going backwards also. Same forward. The only way someone could physically travel would be to encase themselves in something that wouldn't degenerate with the travel if that makes sense?
Peace

The OP is stating the Grandfather Paradox
en.wikipedia.org...
The concept of parallel universes however, makes such paradox impossible, unfortunately, you may never be able go back to the Universe you left. An alternate reality you saved the day and everyone lived happily ever after, and the reality you left where your loved ones are crying for leaving them behind and never coming back.. Of course it's just a theory.
Nothing is certain with things we haven't done yet. But that's what living is all about, uncertainty!! If you think your life is so certain, look around, you might just be doing the same thing everybody else is doing!!
