Well, you could move along and capture light from every direction. Everything would be washed out. Not much fun either. What if instead of stopping time you just slowed it down significantly? If you slowed down light, it would shift into the realm of infrared microwaves.
While it could reach your eyes, it would be invisible. Maybe going back in time be would be a better option. Season 2 of "What If" takes you to an imaginary world where the laws of nature have been altered People on Earth talk a lot about colonizing Mars. But What If it had already happened and the first Imagine how fast we could exchange information if we could just transmit our thoughts directly to Some Are you one of those people who hate these little crawling things?
Consequently, they attained speeds of more than , mph. Here, we extend as much credit to the Sun as to the engineers, for these impressive speeds.
Will we ever construct starships capable of light speed? In so doing, we could send people to remote locations without worrying about them aging to dust or getting on each others' nerves. We can't today, but who knows what humans will eventually accomplish?
We certainly hope so. Speed is a scalar quantity: mph or 90 kilometers per second are both speeds: values without direction. Whereas mph east of the police barracks is a measure of velocity, as it includes a direction. We use them synonymously out of sheer laziness. Fall at the University of Southern Maine.

A few seconds in, and you will realize that gravity no longer affects you. When Newton first described gravity in Principia, the force was believed to move instantaneously across space, having no speed limit. If this were true, then you would probably be able to have gravity in a timeless world.
However, since Newton, the notion of infinitely fast gravity has been debunked. It has to follow the universal speed limit light speed like everything else. What we have talked about so far have been, for the most part, hindrances to your ability to function in a world without time, being the time bound beings that you are. But they do not necessarily describe why this concept is not possible. Recall that the speed of light — described mathematically as c — is approximately ,, meters per second.
In two seconds, light travels ,, meters. In zero seconds, light travels zero meters. If time were stopped zero seconds would be passing, and thus the speed of light would be zero. In order for you to stop time, you would have to be traveling infinitely fast. The most convenient way to do it is to change your definition.
One way is to go to a universe where the laws of physics allow for this. Another conceivable way is to freeze the universe, thus slowing molecular motion. You would not be able to completely stop the universe this way, because as of right now, zero degrees Kelvin absolute zero has not been reached, and it may not be possible.
Another issue is that heat is an energy, and energy is only ever transferred. Because of this you would need to displace the heat into another place, but what other place would that be besides the universe, and how could you possibly do this?
