Time isn't something that exist just like that you know, they just wanted to have something to count the days and how long it take for the earth to travel around the sun.
So I belive we will never ever be able to go back in time because why havn't someone visited us already? Or things like that.
So you're argument is that we can't "touch" time because it's man-made? What about a pencil? A pencil is man-made, but I write my papers with it all time time. Is space man-made? We can manipulate space by simply traveling faster. A meter in one reference frame can be an inch in another frame. If you were to be traveling head first on someone elses frame, you may only be an inch tall.
Your argument has nothing to do with the concept of time, it has to do with the measurment of time. Yes, the earth traveling around the sun is a man-made measurment, but the concept of time is not. If something happens before this instant, it has nothing to do with a man-made concept of time, it has to do with an event occuring before the instant you're at. That concept is not man-made, that is naturally occuring.
The earth being created billions of years ago is not a man-made concept, though the measurment is. The events that created the earth occured right where you and I sit, but far earlier. If time was man-made, then wouldn't all events that occur at this exact space be overlaping all the time?
You're not manipulating time, you're simply changing reference frame into a frame where time is faster, or slower then the one you were in before.
