        One such possibility is that you can only travel to times where the device you’re using to do so exists.

        More like a time gate than an H.G. Wells-style machine, but still a workable model.

        Tbf the important question is: assuming that backwards time travel is possible, will people attempt to the party. And there I would say, unlikely. And while I think backwards time travel is very implausible, the experiment itself proves nothing

            I still do not believe in time travel so I think the most plausible thing is there is no time travel. But assuming time travel was possible, there would still be no one on the party. This doesn’t prove it but neither do I need any proof
