Not necessarily.

Not necessarily.

The only ways not is if it's scientifically possible but never gets discovered for all of eternity, or if it's scientifically possible but only for relatively short jumps in time.

I guess it depends on what now means as well. Time travelers could decide that we were such a bleak and cultural wasteland that they have no interest in visiting.

I just looked up cultural wasteland to get you a proper cite and Canada is a cultural wasteland was the 3rd hit. :D

Again, we are traveling through time right now.  Admittedly we are traveling at the same pace, and in the same direction except for Siege who seems to have reverse the arrow of time and is going backwards.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You meant "bleak cultural wasteland." Bleak and cultural wasteland means it's both bleak and cultural.  :secret:

It's like living in an Eastern European film.

Okay sure. You won the point that I should not have put in a conjunction. :mellow:
