Of course not all of it. But the people in the Traffic jam? Irritated because they’re going to be late or because they’re spending too much time standing still. Sad because the weekend is over? That’s because time made it go away. Do you feel you’re not enjoying life and time is slipping away? That’s right, time makes you feel this way. But does it also make you happy? Would you be less irritated or would you have less regret when time stood still? I don’t know.
Time is what allows the next thing to happen.
Think of a row of falling dominos. If time stops, they stop falling. Literally everything else would be effected the same way. Even light itself would stop.
Maybe. Maybe not. What you describe, in my opinion, is little more than the common Hollywood/comic book trope of what happens when you “stop time”.
What if something else happened? What if we were still conscience, still grew old, died, etc, but the day/night cycle stopped?
Or, more fun than that: any calculation that uses t (time) ceased to work; like velocity. Imagine falling from the Empire State building and landing on the ground safely because you had no velocity?
See I think you have that flipped.
What I describe is that everything stops. By everything I mean everything. Electrons orbiting their nuclei would be frozen in place. As a result the time stop is completely booring. Literally nothing happens. Nobody can even tell time stopped. When it starts again nobody noticed it happened. While I’m typing this response time could have stopped completely, and restarted, dozens of times.
Even if your conciseness somehow continued, you couldn’t see anything because light itself would stop traveling to your eyes.
What you’re talking about is more like what you see in media. Where time doesn’t literally stop. But someone, something, or someplace, gets frozen in time; But time keeps going outside of what’s frozen. But yah that’s not stopping time. That’s freezing select things as time continues around them.
If you had no velocity you’d just stop falling. You wouldn’t reach the ground. You’d hover in whatever spot you were when velocity stopped.
That’s assuming you maintained velocity you had with the Earth. Really if literally all your velocity absolutely stopped, you’d appear to instantly gain amazing velocity relative to the ground. Because the earth is moving incredibly fast itself. Traveling around the sun, that’s traveling around the galaxy, that’s traveling in the cosmos. The direction you move relative to the Earth would depend on exactly when it happened.
This is exactly what I wanted to see being discussed! I love it!!
