There are lots of different kinds of time; they're useful in
different contexts. They're all "real" relative to those
contexts. If the context is too many degrees away, the associated
time may be locally correct, but is less relevant.
So I guess that would mean that travel between contexts is a kind of
"time travel".
However the kinds of time used by the rooster next door often seem
inaccessible to me.

That "only to human beings" was my reply to the question of

and my instructor is yelling, Up, UP , UPPP!!! and I think,
remember, gravity is a weak force.
Its not artificial when my alarm goes
off in the morning!

Is the concept of time correct? Is time relevant?"
