It's just another dimension.  As said below, moving thorugh time would
require another sort of time by which we judge that we are moving.

Relative, as seen in General Relativity.

No.

I am not sure one can "travel" in time.  It implies that one might not
experience 1 second for every second one experiences, which makes
little sense.  Unless there is a "metatime", but that doesn't seem
right at all.


For a more detailed explanation of what I think, see the "type one"
time travel on this page I found
<http://www.xibalba.demon.co.uk/jbr/chrono.html>.  See the appendix,
too.
