    There’s an innumerable number of reasons no one showed up, only one of which is that backwards time travel isn’t possible.

        The other one is that most people haven’t herd of it, so I doubt the knowledge of this party will travel that far into the future.

          Someone who put work and effort into developing time travel will have heard of it. Unless it happened after a complete destruction and rebuild of civilization or two.

      We’re in one of the unlucky few possible resulting timelines in which no one showed. My friend from timeline 3f-1933847.12b told me that their party is still going. Every few hours more travelers turn up with a fresh keg, and whatever their generation’s party drug is.

      It’s by far the most plausible but sure, if you ignore Ockham’s razor, sure, it’s only one of many explanations

      For example maybe you need a working time machine at your destination, such that the earliest point possible to travel to is the moment the first time machine was switched on.
