If time travel was possible, where are all the time travellers from the future? They would be everywhere.

Just to be hypothetical . . . what if the future only exists when we get there. So the time travel can only go into the past.

Sounds weird, but think of it this way. With some video games, even when you reach level 2, you can still play level 1 . . . but not level 3 until you achieve something. Maybe that's the way it will be with time travel . . . the past is level 1, the present level 2, and the future level 3. You can't actually get to the future until it naturally occurs and becomes the present.
