Hmm. .. . that's an interesting question.
It's kind of involved, and largly a construct of my imagination. To understand, you must first understand the meaning of the word 'temporal' as an adjective.
Here is a definition from Webster's:
tem·po·ral:
1.Of, relating to, or limited by time: a temporal dimension; temporal and spatial boundaries.
2. Lasting only for a time; not eternal; passing: our temporal existence.
not eternal; "temporal matters of but fleeting moment"- F.D.Roosevelt 2: of or relating to or limited by time; "temporal processing"; "temporal dimensions"; "temporal and spacial boundaries".

Ok, remember Back To The Future, Doc's research that lead to time travel, was 'temporal' research, because not only was he going to travel through time, but he made it possible to twist timelines, thus chainging reality to something other then the natural, normal timeline, the normal reality. For example, a temporal loop, would be a time loop. History leading up to 1985 was natural, then Marty went back, met his parents, met Biff, had his mom fall in love with him, ect. ect. He made it back to the future ok. Now, one theory is, he is living in a temporal reality, reality has now changed, and a temporal loop, a time loop was begun. for his parents to remain happy, and Biff be thier servent, or whatever the nerd Biff ended up being, Marty is will always exist in the past chaging things. In part wo when he goes back, he sees himself there. That is an example or a temproal time loop, and a temporal reality.
Another example of a temporal reality, is if a rift in space time opened up, a tear in our space time contiuum, and different paralell universes began to colide. A good example of this was a Star Trek TNG episode where this happened, and Picard and the Enterprise found themselves looking at hundreds of other Enterprises from paralell dimensions, realities merged into one, there were hundreds of other Picards.
Now, keep that in mind, for in a temporal event, almost anything is possible, in a true temporal reality (and many scientists believes it's a possibility) you could meet yourself from another dimension, in a temporal reality you could meet your baby self, of met the man who murded you in a different dimesnion.

Hopefully you read all of that, as here is where I'm going with this.
If science fiction was real, let's say our future becomes the Trek future, but in a paralell universe, the Star Wars thing happens, and in another universe, Buffy is slaying vampires, ect. If something happened, and different dimensions, different realities were to merge, we'd see Captain Picard fighting Dark Vader, while Buffy is trying to slay a Terminator, because at this point, not space not time really exists, elements from all different universes and different times are existing as one.
So when I named the site, it was really a play on actual scientific theories, and a tribute to many Science Fiction stories, as here in the web site Temporal Reality, all elements of Science fiction is merged together in our own little universe
Make sence?
Also, there is a flipped side. We are all fans of Sci-Fi, and we all want to escape sometimes, get lost in our own fun, and hopefully TR has become a place where people can do that, escape thier own reality for a while, into this little universe community, which within it's self is a temporal reality, because it is it's own little word here, different from the outside world, with different imaginitive topics that most other sites don't have. If you want to escape reality for a bit, come over to Temporal Reality, so it's also a play on words.
I hope you read all of that, and hope it makes sence. I did put alot of thought into the name of this place, and wanted the name to hold a true meaning, and 'Temporal Reality' explains what this message board is perfectly, as it's so much different here from the reality we all share in the real wolrd.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
