Yes, I believe it's possible. 200 years ago people would laugh and throw fruit at you if you told them that stepping on the moon is possible. Now we're slowly planning walking on Mars. All things are possible in due time, it's our human nature to take on extraordinary feats, so I think time travel is no different. I also find the theory of a multiverse very interesting.

lol. Thats exactly my point. It is the future from my perspective...
So, EVERYTHING that can happen HAS happened. I dont even need Joe Bloggs to come back from 2150, for me to travel TO 2150, because it has already occurred for him in the future.
Therefore, I can travel into the future!!!!! To any point in time because it has already happened for someone or other

No! Not everything has happened, not from our perception of time. A paradox would need to be created for you to travel to your perception of the future, that paradox can only be created by some one travelling to the past. We are in the present, and by our pereception of time, the present is the newest/latest possible point in time, and the "future" as you are reffering to hasn't happened. So what ever way you look at it, its still not the future, because for you to travel to it, it would be the present.
If time travel will ever be possible we would have shitloads of time travellers here by now. We'll either all die before inventing time travels or it will simply be impossible.
The only chance is that in the future it will be possible to move back in time while being unnoticed but chances are very small since it'd be pretty pointless. The only point to go back in time (despite for science and education) is to exist there and somehow change the past. So either nobody ever traveled back to 2010 and time travels reoccur only in later years (which seems rather impossible as SOME people would just have to travel to 2010 and be somehow noticed) or we won't ever discover time travels.
It seems pretty obvious that technologies like these would be pretty widespread if they were invented. There's no way to just keep it to a small amount of people. Even then that group of people would travel back to share their future knowledge with us here in 2010 even for their own selfishness - we would write books about them. Even if not then still their existence wouldn't go unnoticed.
Because if we had the ability to travel to the past right now most of us would try to change some things - mostly huge tragedies. Also the temptation of moving back in time with modern knowledge to become a powerful or famous person by sharing that knowledge would be too big.
Time travels are directly linked with traveling faster than the speed of light which is said to be impossible. If we won't travel in time we probably also won't ever move faster than the speed of light meaning we won't ever discover other galaxies. Considering the fact that galaxies like to annihilate themselves and we won't have any technology to leave our galaxy as it would require us to move way faster than the speed of light we will probably all die here.
That is according to our current knowledge.
PS. Chances are that moving back in time would transfer us to a reality parallel to the reality that really happened in the past. That would affect the moment we went back in time but real past would remain unaffected.
Example - Someone moved from 2090 to 2010 and changed something. However it has all happened in a parallel reality and it doesn't affect us here in 2010 - he did not affect us and our future in any way. It will affect his reality in 2090 though. Our 2010 and him moving to another 2010 are two different worlds. Our 2010 is not linked in any way with his 2010 and his 2090 as it hasn't happened yet.
In his reality 2010 has happened and he can change things that will affect his 2090 when he comes back.
That's just a theory though. I remember reading about it but it doesn't seem very convincing as that would also mean us existing in different realities at the same time.

Because it's wrong, or at best, not the whole story. I hate when people discuss time travel at all because almost everything they bring up is a cliche gotten from the movies or cultural conditioning. Most people are so clueless about the subject and nature of time that I'm not going to take the time to correct just about everything that's been said in this thread. (Except for Duke's post which is on the right track.)
