i think he means that time is something we have created, therefore how do we know that it actually exists.
SIMPLIFICATION: if aliens came to earth, and we asked them how long it took them to get here, or how old they were, would they know what we meant? if time truly exists, surely other intelligent lifeforms equal or better than us would know of it also. we'll have to wait for one to pop down to us before we're certain.
if it is real, it may be just our world or minds that perceive it, seeing as it dominates our race as a whole, keeping things 'on time' is how we move 'forward' in time, 'progress', ultimately keep us classed as intelligent beings (can you imagine no time? exactly).
maybe we've enslaved ourselves with time, afterall, Humans can only understand so much. WOOOO!
