I have a bit of a different belief about time and time travelling, though it's not too far off from what's here.
Basically, I believe that time flows like a tree, with an infinite number of timelines being created in an infinitely small amount of time. While this may seem similar to some other theories, a key difference is that it takes place at the atomic level, rather than at the human level. Because the movement of atoms is random, there are an unlimited amount of different ways they could move. The slightest change in a single atom's path can affect the entire outcome of a timeline, even if only so slightly. With the amount of atoms in the universe, this can greatly affect the events that occur in a timeline, and can even change human thought.
As for time travelling, I believe it is not possible. I do believe, however, that you can travel into alternate timelines to observe and interact with objects in that timeline. There will be some factors that affect things, though. For one, you'd need to do it in a vacuum, so that no atoms are dispersed in the area you reappear in. For this, it may be easier to do this in space or in a laboratory, rather than out in the open. Another is the fact that gravity must play a role in making sure you end up where you want, since Earth and the other objects in the universe are constantly moving relative to each other at billions and trillions of miles per hour. Lastly, the further you travel into alternate timelines, the harder it will be to get back to your original timeline, since the timelines are constantly drifting further away from one another.
That pretty much sums it up for my theory, I think. There may be some issues I didn't account for yet, though.
