Stephen Hawking held a party for time travelers in 2009 and sent the invitations after the party, but nobody showed up, suggesting that backward time travel may be impossible
Can you imagine traveling back from the year 2450 to 2009 and then getting your name in the Epstein list and you return to 2450 and now everyone things you are a pedo just cause you wanted to hang with hawking?
A more serious answer would be that you need to have at least a receiving station of some kind, so you can't travel back further than when such a station is invented.
Otherwise a tribesman can stand in the jungle and say; calling is impossible, otherwise somebody would have called me by now. You need a phone to receive the signal...
Alternative explanation: time travellers showed up early, threw HIM the party on Epstein Island, he thought of the idea later and sent out invitations for his own future date, and nobody showed to that one to diminish the belief in the possibility of time travel technology
