There is no such thing as time travel

Time is a figment of our imagination, an aspect of the human condition, and what my daughter hates most about "people" and their obsession with fictional time travel. I thought she liked "Dr. Who." Since animals don't have a perception of time, are they happier? I think that is what makes them so enjoyable. Since animals don't perceive time, a fat, happy, purring cat on my lap is pure in the moment joy. Wait, I hear a clock ticking above the deepening purr. According to Louis A DelMonte, "solutions to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, time dilation experiments, and the Existence Equation Conjecture suggest that time travel IS possible." Oops cat got spooked and jumped off  my lap. Could all of these scientific theories be put to rest due to the realization that the nature of time itself is just human brain static? Just think of all the free time we could have, right NOW! 

I think I will lay off the science fiction for a bit a read a nice cookbook.
