That is because time on earth is a relative value rather than a constant one. That is why we have 24 time zone on earth instead of just one.
Eg. A malaysian's 12pm is a New Yorker's 12am at the same point of time, while that same point of time is constant throughout the universe ever since the beginning of well. Time.
I personally believe time travel do not exist, all the existing time paradoxes sum up my argument.
My biggest doubt is traveling back into the past. A governing body that control time travel strictly? It will only take one single rogue time traveler to go back in past, causing event with powerful butterfly effect and create all kind of chaos.
With an infinite future, are there any guarantee that nobody else but the governing body develop time machine that's capable of traveling to the past? North Korea developed nuclear weapons too you know so what's there to stop countries that aren't on agreeable term with time traveling administrations bodies developing time machine and using them?
Time slowing down through high speed while proven possible but it's more of an illusion.
An astronaut slowed down 5 years of his time out of normal earth 10 years for eg.
So if he say, started his speedy journey at 2010, while he only aged 5 years, he still returns to Earth at the year 2020 not 2015. Since time is a relative value, it does give the illusion he traveled through time into 5 years ahead.
Interesting, and it's weird to see there's no one else that mentions about the butterfly effect. I had that in mind because I just watched Heroes not long ago and was discussing about butterfly effect and chaos theory with my friend last night XDEg. A malaysian's 12pm is a New Yorker's 12am at the same point of time, while that same point of time is constant throughout the universe ever since the beginning of well. Time.

On the other hand, does theory of time relativity apply here in some manner? I'm interested, but yet I might be wrong. XD
