What is the time? Is time travel possible? 


Answer from the book; "Theories of the Nature and Universe: Comparison of Pure Buddhist Philosophy and Science"


There are two types of realities. Apparent reality and ultimate reality.

Apparent reality is ordinary conventional truth or something that is generally accepted (Sammuti-sacca) but not ultimately exist. For an example, you are a vast combination of Nāma(Chitta and Cetasika ) and Rūpa. So, there is no ultimate thing as you. But, you exist as a conventional truth and generally accepted.

Ultimate reality is abstract truth (Paramattha- sacca). Their nature or characteristic never change. It is real for forever. They can‘t change to other things with further subdividing.

In the whole infinite universe only four types of ultimate things are exist. Those are:

1. Consciousness entity (called as Chitta)
2. Consciousness states entity (called as Cetasika)
3. Ultimate entity of matter (Rūpa or Rūpa Kalapa)
4. Nirvana

These four entities cannot be further subdivided. This is the most fundamental thing of Abhidhamma.

Time is not an ultimately existing thing. It is only a concept or an illusion. Only the present exist. Past and future are just concepts or illusions. So, time travel is not possible.
