If it's objective then only 5 years or 50 years have passed. Which one is it?
Exactly it's not an objective amount because science can't even measure objective time. Science requires observers and subjects and can hence only measure subjective and relative time.
Science is a tool to study our experience of the world, not the world itself, and physics is a branch of that.
The point is, yes time travel is a bunch of crap and the theory of relativity is not time travel.
