Can we stop time at a certain event?

Answer 1

You're question is worded strangely.

Modern physics suggest that time does not, as we commonly percieve it to, progress steadily forward from one moment to another. The reason is that there is no plausable mechanism to show how one "moment" is suddenly lit up and set aside as being "now". Furthermore, special relativity shows us that two different observers who are moving relative to one another would disagree about what events constitute a "now".

So the idea of stopping something that isn't moving in the first place is rather presumptuous.

However, throwing caution to the wind, there is every reson to believe that time stops for a weightless particle moving at the speed of light, and that time stops within the event horizon of a black hole. For whatever those observations are worth... there they are.

Hope that helps.

Edit - S_k_Latif, please either more thoroughly research and understand the topics you reply to, or do not reply to them at all. There is no good reason to spread faulty or innacurate information. What you just said makes exactly zero sense. Just being honset.

Answer 2

Could you be somewhat more specific about your question? The way you have worded it leaves a lot open to interpretation.

Do you mean, can we (people) stop or freeze the flow/movement of chronological time at a specific point in time, and keep time from continuing or passing either temporarily or permanently?

If so, then the answer is no. Chronological Time, as humans see it, is an artificial idea invented to recognize the passage of time, to recognize and identify the spatial/chronological/dimensional differences between one thing and another. Time passes, time moves on, but it is how we as mortal 3 dimensional beings identify and interact with time that gives it meaning.

If extraterrestrial life exists, it is unlikely they recognize time in the way we do. They most likely do not have hours, minutes, days or seconds. They wouldn’t have weeks, or 7 days in them, nor would they have a year. All our notions on time are inventions we as humanity came up with to denote the passage of one moment to the next.

To stop this chronological passage would mean we would need to completely stop all movement and deterioration across the entire cosmos. To do that takes power much greater than that contained within the entire universe.

So, no...time cannot be stopped at a certain event.

Gee, after writing all that, I sure hope you weren’t referring to stopping the clock at a sporting event....

Answer 3

physically we don't know , but we do have a theory that time is string theory is a interaction of string stretch over universe and cosmos. So in case of interleaved events in many dimension of existence , time can be stoped to a degree.

Answer 4

when the mind stops, time stops. they are not different.

Answer 5

Yes.Time is not a constant !

Answer 6

No.
