if time travel were possible, wouldn't we have been over-run by tourists from the future?

Ever hear of gray aliens? Some people believe that these are actually humans under the natural course of thousands of years of evolution, that have travelled back to the past to study us.

Quoting an essay I wrote before, someone may find it interesting:
An Exerpt from "Theories on the Space-Time Continuum"
"...
As humans, and creatures of this Earth, we have always thought ourselves to live in a 3-Dimensional world since the basis of dimension was conceived. Things can be long, tall and wide. These are the only three dimensions, and as such, we must live in a 3-Dimensional world…or do we?
When looking at a two dimensional coordinate plane, you have two factors that account for something’s location. It’s position on the x-axis, and it’s position on the y-axis. There are two dimensions in the coordinate plane, and thus it is two-dimensional. However, when you add another dimension, you have more to account for when relating position, as it becomes a three-dimensional space. When working in space, the added dimension is the z-axis, most commonly known as height. The same as when working in two dimensions, you must know the objects position on each axis in order to locate it’s position relative to any other existing object.
The axes represent each dimensional value required to locate and assign a position to an object. Because we can only see three dimensions, we assume that our world is three-dimensional, and therefore we use three axes. This, however, is not the case.
An object may physically exist in but three dimensions, yet there is another dimension which determines its position, this being it’s chronic position. If the axes help us to pinpoint an object’s location, certainly they must account for moving, dynamic and non-static objects, thus explaining a fourth dimension, and the need for a fourth axis.

Just a general plea for everyone posting in this topic, please put what you type through a spell checker if you know you have bad spelling. I don't demand perfect spelling, but if you want to be understood properly, then decent spelling is needed so people can follow what you say.
Infinint, what you are talking about is absolute zero, or zero degrees kalvin. Cryogenics could be deemed time travel, but unfortunatly with todays current technology the process of freezing you would kill you as it would hae to be an instant freeze, and not something gradual.
As for your black hole theory. It sounds intersting. The only obvious problem being the immence gravitational forces at work within the center of the hole. If anything could survive such forces, I beleive that many new discoveries await us wherever it leads to.

Sorry about that spelling it was kind of late at night and I was just rambling on. Anyway ya you wouldn’t be able to travel though a black hole because there is nothing that can resist the gravitational forces, but if you where to have a ship that could protect its self with a equally negative gravitational force the ship might be able to travel though but if you have a ship with that power you could just rip a hole any time you wanted. Also if something went wrong and you had just a small difference between fields either your ship or the black hole would collapse which could cause some of these theories, the black hole might burst in a massive explosion similar to the big bang as all its STUFF expands rapidly to there original size, if you use the theory about black hole leading to new universes then you might cut off that universe from your own.
Ripping a hole in the space time continuum is like warp drives in star trek and star wars, look at it this way, take a piece of paper and suppose that’s space and your standing on the left hand side. Now if you wanted to move to the right hand side you would have to walk about 8 inches but if you folded the paper over on itself and cut a hole though it where you where you’d only have to jump though the hole to end up 8 inches away or in space hundreds of light years away with out traveling more then a few hundred feet (depending on the size of your ship). This is aka a wormhole.
(STUFF is the only way to describe it, when something enters a black hole it loses all of its physical chemical and electrical properties but retains its mass so really only stuff that makes it though to the other universe is the stuff that goes strait though the center, in theory if you where traveling though a black hole you could end up with every thing else in the infinitely packed mass travel strait though to the other universe or travel into the multivers though the sides of the “tunnel” in between the universes.)
Wow I like this, because school is out I never been able to lecture some new one about this stuff, all of them now know what’s coming and run in the other direction lol.

The faster you go the slower time moves, This was proved by an experiment involving a 747 and two very accurate clocks. One clock was left on the ground and the other on the plane, after a few hundred flights the clocks were checked and the times were very slightly different, by a few nano seconds.
The clock on the plane, when you think about it, was going very slowly back in time
Personally I like to use the other method of time travel, I hear wise men in London call it 'Beer' It is possible to lose entire nights to this most awesome of talisman..
