Say we are able to time travel, within the next hundred years, why hasn't someone from that future time come back to our present time? As the technology improves, say a thousand years from now, I would expect the historians would be using their university time machines, to clarify history, by going back into time for eye witness accounts. Why are the historians skipping this time?

Then again, they could be among us, but realize what would happen to them, if they claimed they were from the future. Could a large proportion of the future time travelers, who say too much, have ended up in insane asylums or burnt as witches? Is the guy wearing the sign "repent" from the future, trying to change the past for the future? Could he what often becomes of time travelers, when their knowledge of the future meets the past and past can not comprehend?

What I think will happen in the future is, it will be decided, it is safer and more productive go primarily to the future, instead of the past. After losing too many timonauts to witch hunts, and insane asylum attrition, it got too expensive in terms of physical and human resources.

Time travel into the future beams you to places where time travel is normal and most people in the future are delighted to meet someone from the past. One can also bring back technology and trinkets from the future, since the futurists would be able to beam you back, with extra power and style, compared to your primitive forward trip. It is all win win and is very cost effective. Going to the past will require a lot of permits. Plus you have to sign a liability waiver stating Time-Express will not be held responsible.
