If time travel is possible I'll come back to this point in time and visit myself, thereby showing me the time machine I've used to travel back - I can then reverse engineer it, thereby inventing a time travelling device?

OK not me, but say a quantum physicist with a team of highly skilled CERN engineers?

If time travel were possible, that would have happened by now - "time tourists" from the future would be popping up all over the place I'm afraid - the fact that they're not proves this, unless they're all "cloaked" from detection of course 

also, no one evr takes the rotation and orbit of the Earth into account - if you popped back in time 5 minutes you'd end up drowning in the Pacific, or popping up thousands of feet in the air or worse - arriving in the empty space where the Earth was 5 minutes ago - remember we're travelling at 60000mph through space whilst spinning at 1000mph, it'd be tricky to time travel to the same continent, much less the same city, street, house or room

That'll be why we don't see any time tourists, then. They are appearing as space debris and can't return to explain the obvious mistake.
