I'd like to believe that time travel has happen but in the way it does in the book i read "Time scout" Which these people "Time guides" take groups back in time to only learn the history first hand but not actually mess with anything.

Theoretically, that is possible.
Allowing ourselves to "view" the past, but not able to affect it.
Like a one-way mirror.
People like to believe we have free will, when in reality, it's all a pre-defined path. We just move through it.
Think about it this way, we can perceive the past, but the future is completely unknown. It's just we haven't found a way to read it.
I'm sure Charlie Sheen knows what it feels like to travel back before the big bang when there was nothingness. lolol

Hmmmm yes everything is a chain reaction of events i agree with that general statement. When it comes to observation of the past as a like history class or something, simply going to see it would change the past unless say it was just a monitor and it looked back into the past.
To the ideo that we don't have free will, I personnally believe that there is always two options and our past defines those two options. With that said the past may make you learn more toward another thing but there is still always a choice.

Or, people don't want to fuck history up?
This guy named Ronald (Can't remember his last name.) Said that time travel is possible, but you can only travel in the period between when the time machine is turned on, and when it is turned off.

These are both presumptions about the nature of time. Seb assumes that time is linear and not changeable. He presumes that there is only one world-line (or space time) that cannot be changed.
However, you don't consider that time may be able to be re-formed. Perhaps at the specific point in time that a message or person goes back in time(NOW) the world-line shifts and time changes. Perhaps we are living in the "true" line, which someday will shift when a future traveler travels back in time. This version of time travel means that a future change in the past will only impact our reality the moment the act is done.
OR perhaps when a traveler embarks they create an entirely new world-line and move there, never to return to our own world line. In their world line they can do as they like, since it is a separate entity from the reality that they left from. This idea makes the exact opposite assumption that you make Seb -- that the past cannot change the future once it has occurred and that a new reality must be constructed. This would have frightening implications for the wary time traveler, as they would never be able to return to their original universe.
Both of these theories assume that time is not calculated in its entirety from the beginning of existence (opposite from the presumption that you make seb). Either way, its all supposition at this point, and if my theories are right, we will never know for sure what implications time travel has, since it will never affect our reality.

I don't think just being there would cause the time line to change in anyway...
