A Theory of Time (and possibly space)

I spent a month when I had some "free" time on my hands thinking about time. At that time, my best idea was: Time is like a doily in a cloud. I now think that time is like one or more brains (and even the second brain in your gut). A network of communicating nodes, with supporting structure. Now that you know what time is, what do you think time travel is? Is it possible for electroshock to "push" people back in time, such that they forget that time has passed? What better explanation for memory loss that they travelled through time backwards? The person's universe tilted backward in time, whereas the rest of us continued on.
