No, traveling is the enemy of prejudice, the sad reality is plenty of scientists and science-minded folks are as bigoted and prejudiced as anyone else. Science doesn't negate prejudice, in fact, sometimes it has the propensity to enforce it by pseudo-intellectual superiority complexes (e.g. Richard Dawkins crowd)..
As to time, none of us experience time. Scientifically or philosophically time is something the human mind avoids because it is completely outside of human control. The mind is great at measuring things and at complaining, so it prefers to dwell in the memories of the past, and the fears/fantasies of the future, where the mind has TOTAL control. Time only actually exists in the present moment, and the nature of the reactionary human brain is to exist a split-second after the present moment has already past. Spiritual practices are to tune the brain through experience to live in the present moment as it exists, and not to dwell in the past or the future. Only God exists in the past and the future, we do not, neither do our brains. So time for us in all intent and purpose doesn't even exist.
