Ok, it's late at night and my computer seems to be crashing after every letter I type so bare with me on this. I'm going to explain why we can't travel into the future if time travel becomes a reality.

Firstly, you must understand that we exist in one timeline. What we're doing right now is the first of what we're doing that has ever been done. Ever. This explains why somebody hasn't come back through time and told us that we invent a time machine - we haven't done it yet! Since we're living at the very front of our timeline (we must be, somebody would have come back by now (either that or we don't invent a time machine in the future at all)) it means we can't go further foward because nothing has happened ahead of our time. If we could go foward, then destiny and fate would be proven to exist. If you go to 2020 and look yourself up, you'd be doing the same thing if you went back to your own year and waited the time difference (unless you interacted with your future self). As such, since we can't go fowards, fate and destiny don't exist.

The only way foward would be to appear in an alternate universe which has a timeline ahead of ours, but then you wouldn't time travel into your future but an alternate version of your future which, technically, is completely different to the one you exist in.

As such, when/if we invent a time machine, we can go back but not foward.

I just invented a time machine:

1 2 3 4 5

Look, now you're 5 seconds forwards in time and it only took 5 seconds to get there! So time travel forwards is possible, but also a massive waste of time.

Here are some other time machines I invented:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
(for this one I reccommend wearing some sort of futuristic all-in-one silver body suit, just in case you end up so far in the future that you get stuck there)

wrong wrong wrong.

It's theoretically possible to travel forwards in time using an orbital shuttle travelling close to te speed of light and a pair of enormous magnets.

Travel backwards is impossible, and not a good idea anyway, due to the high likelihood of creating a paradox simply by appearing in the past where previously you were not.
