I can think of a scenario where this could work, and it's not unreasonable. Imagine that time is not linear. Imagine that it's something that is similar to matter and space, and we move along it, just like we move in matter and space. Now, imagine there were some law that would render it completely invalid, i.e, make the item in question break out of this model. If that thing that were to cause an item to break out of the model happens at any point within this 'space' of time, then the item in question would already have broken out of the model, and would never have the chance to be inside of it. So the only things that could possibly exist within the model are things that can NEVER EVER break out of the model. This is difficult to explain. The assumption is that future time already exists, irrespective of where matter is positioned in future time. Now, if future time already exists, and has already been executed, then if something in future time were to happen that could destroy all of time, then time would never exist, so this thing could never happen! The only way time could exist is if this future event will never happen. There is only one assumption in my hypothesis there but it is an assumption that is very difficult to prove.
