I am one of the millions of people who have wished that they could jump back in time and correctly bet the superbowl victor. Champagne would fall from the heavens and I would buy a Lamborghini. However, I think that there are simplistic reasons why time travel will never exist. Or if it will someday regular everyday people like you and I will never get to use the technology.
1) If time travel were to exist, wouldn't someone have already traveled back to within the first 2000 yeas of A.D. to reveal our future powers.
2) Maybe we can perform the feat someday, however since no one has ever been seen time traveling I would bet that the government has declared it illegal to do so. Even in the future we will be held down by the man.
3) Maybe as intelligent futuristic humans we have realized that time traveling is just too dangerous. Humanity itself might be at risk when trying to bend time and change the past. The (2004) movie "Butterfly Effect" shows a glimpse at the possible wrath and dangers of the Chaos Theory.
This post encourages thoughts and responses to the topic. I fear, however, time travel will never be as easy as a Flux Capacitor and a Delorian.
