    Abstract:This paper examines the distinct lack of clear examples
    of time-travellers and proposes an explanation for their absence
    without assuming technical barriers to constructing time
    machines. Instead, it develops and then analyses a model of the
    consequences of time-travellers; finding that time travel is
    self-suppressing.
