What is your opinion on it? Would you like to see it happen?
Personally, I don't. Humans fuck up enough things as is, we don't need people jumping around through time screwing up even more things. Regardless of if some things are possible, there are things that should just be left untouched due to how catastrophic the consequences could be.

Definitely don't want time traveling.
The moment humans time travel, Morrighan will destroy us all.
Time travel is impossible. If it was possible, time travelers would have prevented it.

On one hand people will obviously screw it up.
On the other we could see real, living dinosaurs.

It is physically impossible to travel back in time.
Travelling forward in time however is quite possible, and is in fact currently being done on a tiny scale. :P It's just currently unfeasible to make actual leaps into the future, so to speak. You can basically slow down your time relative to your surroundings by travelling faster relative to said surroundings. IIRC, being closer to a super massive object also slows down your time relative to someone who's farther away. And they've actually recorded this difference using timers on orbiting satellites.
There's a nice documentary about this stuff; I think it was based on Stephen Hawking's work, or perhaps someone else's. I think it's pretty cool.
Amusingly, time travel is apparently banned in China. lol!

The past has ceased to exist, the present is existance and the future has yet to exist.
It is impossible to travel toward non-existance.

If traveling back in time was possible then that intrinsically, paradoxically makes past time travel impossible in the first place. For instance lets say I can go back in time by 1 hour. If I do that the very presence of me going 1 hour in the past will have not made that movement possible because I was already there 1 hour ago, therefore it's not possible move to a place I am already at. I see past time travel as moving by staying still.

I think time travel would be really cool - if only it had one limitation.
That we could see into the past, but not interact with it. Because - as much as I would love to fix my past mistakes, they have helped me mature and grow. Even though they might be stressful to think about.
Looking into the past might also clear up a few unknown gaps in human knowledge.
But, I honestly don't think traveling to the future is possible. There are just way to many possible outcomes - which one would time travel favor? D:

Nope and nope. Like you said, there is always someone who's going to fuck something up, and I'd rather not let anyone have the chance to do so.

Seeing into the past, but not being able to interact with it, sounds like a decent idea.

There are methodes to doing it but it's rather complicated -.- Getting the information you want is even harder too so trying to develop better ways to do it might not work out so well in the end..

No, that's fake, I can see it change. Unless.......
