Thinking time is real leads to the thinking that we can go back in time, when there's no "time" to go back to is basically the gist of it.

If there is no "real" time to go backwards in, going back in time would simply be tantamount to going back in illusory time. Nothing is gained from this word game unless you say what the difference is between having real or illusory time.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
