So where are they?
The past and the future are mental constructs built from memory and prediction. They are not physical places that exist.
You cannot travel somewhere that does not exist.

I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
