My Theory on 'Time' and why 'Time Travel' Can't Work...

I spend a great deal of my time thinking... about things... all kinds of things, really. I suppose that you could call it 'day-dreaming,' and I suppose that I could call it 'contemplating' but it is really just a matter of 'imagining' things... I can do it, you can do it, anybody can do it. Sadly, I find that most people's imaginations, or 'contemplative powers,' are either unused, or mis-used, in these days. We should be setting our 'sights' higher, as I told my friend Arthur.
At any rate, I thought that I would like to share one of my own ventures into 'Imaginationland,' if you will... I'm always somewhat trepidatious about sharing some of my thoughts, because... well... because they are so far from the 'mainstream,' I'm always fairly certain that they will seem 'crazy' to some of you, and I don't necessarily want to appear to be crazy, as I'm sure that most of you don't, either. The good news is that the Sages will tell you that the closer you get to the 'Great Mind,' the more 'rareified' will be the atmosphere, and it is only a few that can exist there, without destroying themselves. So... if we haven't met our destruction yet, then we just keep breathing... until we can exist on that 'higher' plane of elevation, or go down in flames, like the Phoenix... to rise again.
Breathe in... breathe out...
So, to get back to the subject matter at hand, I know that many of you have 'contemplated' the subject of 'time travel,' and how that might be accomplished. I gave it my own thought, and came up with the reason why it never will, instead; not because it is 'impossible,' necessarily, but because it is 'impractical'... at least to accomplish the things that men might wish to accomplish thereby. It would be good for all of you to remember that there are no 'cheats' in life... everything that can be accomplished here (and that is much) can only be accomplished with 'labor.' I'm sorry that you can't get a 'modded controller' for Life, but you just can't...
Back to the 'time travel' theory... Time is obviously not a 'physical' thing here; it has no real existence of its own, and appears to exist (as we understand it) only by its 'measurement;' we have counted aeons, centuries, years, months, hours, minutes, and seconds... we have it whittled down to quintillionths of a second, even, I think... as if we would even know what to do with a quintillionth of a second. But none of those measurements actually constitutes 'time;' they only indicate a certain portion of it, that we have measured off, or 'seperated' from the whole.
This leaves us with the problem of the 'whole,' and what that is. And considering that I am now 'short on time,' the rest of this post will have to wait for later tonight...
