cassandra is a woman from a greek myth that was cursed to make prophecies that would always be true but no one would believe.
Cassandra was just able to see the future (and no one would believe her).
Tangentially, I think it's interesting that Greek mythology takes such a clear stand on the nature of time travel: it's possible, but history (past, present, or future) can't be altered.
That is one of a couple of rival models in modern science fiction, and generally not a particularly popular one.
