Here's an another theories I once have read.

If we ever should invent a time machine we will not be able to use it for two reasons

1. The past is gone and can't be reached or changed
2. The future haven't been written yet, therefore traveling to a spot that doesn't exist is impossible
(can't remember the exact words)

Okay...that truly is something to think about.

Larry Niven once wrote a treatise called The Theory and Practice of Time Travel. In it he examines the Grandfather Paradox and much more. The fun part comes at the end when he poses a world where time travel was common. People travelled back and forth, changing things constantly, creating messes and cleaning them up. Then he considers that one of them travels to just the right time and kills the only man who ever could have invented a time machine.

He ends with "Maybe that's what happened."
