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 whether time is relevant. It reminds me of when I do my Pilates, and my instructor is yelling, Up, UP , UPPP!!! and I think, remember, gravity is a weak force.
