not possible only thing that would work in this case is you, no eletrical appliances because they have no power source.

You know, if we're talking about time freezing, but with one individual still able to move and interact with the world freely we're going to have to invent some arbitrary and nonsensical new rules of physics in the first place.

For example, we're assuming that if you stop time after dropping a ball, the ball will freeze in midair, but at the same time we're coming up with ideas that involve manipulating objects in ways that would require gravity to come into play. Or that you would be able to see (as Jawz said a while ago) despite the fact that light would no longer be in motion, rendering our sense of sight useless.

If you're going to ruin the fun by being all logical about it, at least address the thousands upon thousands of other impossibilities, anomalies, oddities, and paradoxes that such time freezing would entail.

Yo nigger.

I said it first.

Quote from Neurotic


After I figure out how to breathe and move in an environment where light cannot move because time has stopped and therefore nothing can move faster than it's non mobile state. k.


Well something like that.

Never thought of it that way... Well how about this, everything freezes excepts yourself and all energy forms?

I could never understand why people didn't like you when I first joined. Now I understand.

Including kinetic energy?

One would assume that if kinetic energy was preserved during the time freeze that objects would hardly appear "frozen" at all.

It's best to stop trying to explain it in a way that makes sense and simply enjoy the fact that it doesn't make sense.

I think you should've changed your name to "Tries Too Hard" instead of "Neurotic."

Yeah probably.

Because all I ever do is try really really hard to be funny and gain the acceptance of my peers on the internet.

Alright I'll play along and stop being a party pooper =)

I think I would play around with diffrent earthly elements like water and part it and stuff. Other than that I woud use it for quick transportation (like sleep up until 1 minute before school starts) and messing with people.

No cause time is frozen.

Duh.


For everyone else. If you're still moving, you're still alive, and your body is still using resources.

for school/work. get all my paperwork done, then do some epic pranks.
then I would be bored since technology wouldnt work, (unless the device I used could take other objects and make them normal in a stopped state of environment)
