It's doubtful that we'll ever be able to go back in time.
If we can't teleport ourselves across space, then physical movement across time is bound to be impossible as well.
But if "remote viewing" works, would it be possible to see across time, as across space simply by developing a hidden capacity of our minds?
But does "remote viewing" work, or is that another crock?
I was amused by the illustrated novelist Jack Finney's (non-)idea that if we recreated the physical surroundings of a past era, we might somehow almost magically slip over and wake up in that time.
Trust me, though, it doesn't work.

Re: ...Marty can alter this new universe if he'd likeperhaps even take credit for "Johnny B. Goode" and become a famous musician. He can even travel in time within this parallel world. But once the new universe changes, he's unable to return to the original one. (In which case, I call dibs on his girl Jennifer.)...
Yes, but which Jennifer?
The really hot lookin' Claudia Wells?
Or the skanky, too old looking Elisabeth Shue?
I personally subscribe to the to theory that Fox got the clap from Wells and banned her from the sequels...
However, it was Shue who gave him a dose of Shaky Sif... That he passes off as Parkinson's Disease to this very day...

Hmmm... I saw a movie once - can't remember the name - where the hero receives a pocket watch from an old lady. He then travels back in time, meets the lady as a young woman and gives her the watch, which she then returns to him many years later.
So, my question was (and I was told I was "nit picking"): Who made the watch?
The most famous one though is, of course, The Terminator, in which if the Terminator is successful, there would be no reason to send him back in time...

If it were possible, someone would have already come back to some time present or previous; and someone would know about 'em.

This guy don't paint pictures for beans, first he gives me a square then he makes me mount imaginary mirrors on the corners which have no mountable surface, being corners, then he has me stack up a whole bunch of them until I get a cylinder which I always thought had no corners and then takes me on a ride where no one has ever gone with no way back to where I began to follow his instructions in the first place; I'm lost.
