Ok, armchair theory here, let's for a moment assume Einstein's belief that time is the fourth dimension.
We use our senses to detect/experience dimensions, right? I mean, we use sight, hearing, touch to detect 3-D space, for example (not forgetting taste and smell too).
If time is the fourth dimension, maybe these cells are our evolutionary attempt to sense/detect and operate within that dimension.
Which explains how the experience of time travel could be possible in at least one way - if we can change/affect our sense/perception of time (um.. navigating time?), it can seem to us like time travel. I'm not saying we would be affecting the timeline itself in this case, I mean more like messing with the sense of time that causes us to "experience" time travel.
Ok sorry, that does too sound like too much armchair pseudoscience, but this article and some of the other comments just got me thinking.
