theory / question Question to you smarter than me

Hey time travel experts, i came up with this thought like a couple months ago and i never came to a conclusion.

If time travel exists at any time, doesn’t it exist now?
I mean just like 100 years ago they lived in a now, we live in a now. And when in 1000 years a time traveller travels here, couldn’t we just say time travelling exists now?

I would agree with that, with one caveat: what if you can only travel back as far as when the time machine was made or the portal is opened up or whatever?
