    I think it's pretty obvious that people will never be able to travel through time. If they ever could, then we would be flooded with time-traveling tourists right now.

    No. Infact Special Relativity would allow you construct a Time Machine for travel to the future based on that principle.

    Time Travel into the future is possible. If Free Will exists, then time travel into the past is not possible.

    Two Time Machines for travel into the future:

    Type 1

    Build a space ship capable of near light speed. Put it into a long orbit like a comet that returns to earth every 100 years. Get in the ship and blast off. When you return you will have aged a few years and be 100 years into the earth's future.

    Type 2

    Build a space station in near orbit to a Black Hole. As long as you are in the space station you age very slowly. When you leave you could be 100s of years in the future.

    Special and General Relativity makes either of these possible. The science is solid, the engineering will take some work.

    Time isn't an object, contrary to popular belief. If you could travel through "time," it would be essentially walking through life without aging and without having to live the present.
