Is time travel real?? Is it possible? If it is, do we have no free will or are there an infinite amount of timelines that we shift between depending on the choices we make?

a simple argument against time travel
>if time travel is possible at any point in the future, that means people would have been able to come back to our time/time before us
>we haven't observed any of that
therefore it's logical to conclude that it's not possible

This is the most overrated argument against time travel. First, time travel might be possible but difficult enough that any society who can do it wouldn't be interested in visiting our society in this point of history, or at least so costly/difficult that it wouldn't be worth it. Second, time travel might be possible only to a time where the "time machine" had been made - indeed the most plausible theoretical construct (wormhole) that would allow time travel would work like this.

With the "no free will" option you are probably referring single universe, unaltered timeline type of time travel. But it's better to not bring free will into it, since either it's libertarian free will which is simply self-contradictory and makes no sense with or without time travel, or compatibilist free will which is totally compatible with this kind of time travel.

Quoted By:

My prediction for "time travel" is that it will only really be achievable through cryogenics (for future travel) and some sort of alternate reality portal (for past travel) so as to not mess with the fabric of time
Traveling to the past will inherently spawn a new timeline so you can never return to the original future, only the alternative one you've created
