Manipulating time is something of impossible on every scale it could happen (like captain cook's ambitius project)

To manipulate time means to not be affected by it, but if someone does this, he will put in discussion the fact that everything is made principally by matter and time


For more, I'm waiting Exilement's answer

Well it depends on how the matter around you will physically interact with your body.

The fundamental forces would probably stop altogether, meaning there's nothing stopping your body from passing through everything, including the ground beneath you. Gravity wouldn't work. Without motion, nothing around you emits heat. It would feel like absolute zero and you'd freeze to death instantly.

If you ever restarted time, your body would probably violently explode in a series of nuclear fusion reactions. Without any repulsive forces, the molecules around your body would be able to get close enough to the atoms in your body to fuse together. The infinite velocity and acceleration of any object you manage to interact with would cause some serious shit, maybe even destroy the universe for all we know.

it wouldn't really work, is what I'm getting at.

You would just die.That`s it.We would suffer if time froze.Do you God would let us suffer like that?

Exil, what about moving so fast that nobody can perceive your presence?

youd have too much mass to not have an impact on the things around you

Do you mean if I control time, what would happen?
It's on two options:
-You can control time but you move normally
-You can control time but it also does an effect on your speed

The result of time control varies from the options above. If I can control time and move normally, I would be doing something dirty to all those pretties >:-D
If I can control time but also affects me, you crazy? I might as well not control time. If you make time to a permanent zero. Of course, you'd die. It can be considered as the end of everything. As when the universe was made, time began and when the world ends, time stops.

Although I still resign to the whole breathing problem :\


Then hold your breath, duh.

super power: everytime you hold your breath, time stops. as you start to hold your breath, time slows down

There's always a tiny amount of time where you're not breathing between each exhale and inhale; this power would be really distracting because everything would look like you're in a laggy videogame from the frequent time-stops.

It is possible. If time stopped/slowed down, and you yourself could speed up to godly speeds then theoretically on a molecular level it would be possible to match a point where your atoms do not collide with the chaotic formations of the surfaces you touch, and actually pass through.


That has nothing to do with quantum tunneling, did you even read that article past the headline?

We can't pass through solid objects because of the electromagnetic repulsion between each atom's electron shell. If you stopped time, this probably wouldn't happen, but otherwise it doesn't matter how fast you're travelling relative to the object you're trying to pass through.

oh, was that dragonball z? it sounded like something i saw in an anime tbh, what episode was that/who has that power?
