Now, the general idea of "time travel" means moving to a certain event marker by will. This is where we have the problem. To perform this feat, we'd have to somehow remove ourselves completely from the space-time continuum. At which point, we'd see all events that have ever happened and will ever happen, all at the same time. This is the main crux of the problem. How can you remove yourself from the space-time continuum? Is there even a "place" to go to that is outside that continuum?
Well... as you said in the beginning, the time is a human concept. Our consciousness is "traveling in time" in direction to the future, and thats why we percieve the time going on.
But, it does not mean that our consciousness must be limited to follow it. We humans learn, when childs, to move our consciouness forward in the time, for it follow the time of the other consciousnesses of the other people. And its a so deep rooted thing in our mind that we dont ever question it, and believe that "time" is somewhat that flows regardless our consciousness. Everybody who smoked knows that the time slows down when we are stoned... that our consciousness can percieve the flow of time in different speeds.
So, if you have a sufficient control of your consciousness, by meditation procedures or through hallucinogens, its possible to overcome this conditioning of the perception of the time and percieve a timeless reality, where past, present and future are unified and "happen at the same time", or some what like it. Also is possible to the consciousness move to some other location, not only in the space, but also in the time (cause as said in relativity, space and time are equivalent), and so allow the perciever to perceive things that were or things that will be yet.

We might however, if we ever advanced far enough to alter our consciousness and its connection to the space-time continuum we might be able to look at the past or future.
Me too!
