Then the Clock Stopped, Never to Run Again

The concept of time travel arouses our curiousity of physics, our perceptions of the universal fabric, and the plausibility of the concept.
Although entertaining, when we consider the paradox of meeting our past or future self, what would be the resulting chaos, really?
Marty McFly? Bill and Ted? Midgets in the closet?(Time Bandits)
I have three postulations regarding the accomplishment of time travel in my lifetime.
1) I would have visited myself long before now.
2) I probably can't afford it when it is discovered.
3) Eventually I become very content with the way my life turns out and don't feel the need to visit my past self.
On God Shuffled His Feet, one lyric says, "All the things that have come to pass, and all the things that shall be, I see here, before me"
One true prophetic glimpse would blow your mind.
