Would you rather have the ability to become invisible, or to stop time?

Question

Please expand on your answer with a scenario.

Answer 1

Stop time.

Ok, it's true that invisibility would be awesome, especially if you have voyeuristic tendencies.

The main problem is that you could still be heard, still be affected by other influences (random people smacking you, doors hitting you, dogs who could still smell you, etc) and you would have to be ever vigilant as you wandered around so as to avoid random accidental detection.

The ability to stop time would actually give you all of the benefits of invisibility along with a whole slew of others.

If you could stop time, you could then go wherever you wanted, see whatever you wanted, and try just about anything like you were invisibile, because those around you would be frozen in time.

You could also travel in a manner that would appear to be teleportation, as you could move from point a while everyone was frozen to point b and then unfreeze time, causing people to see you disappear and to reappear elsewhere.

You could effectively learn all of the worlds big secrets by stopping time, reading them at your leisure, and then restarting time.

This would allow you to make as much money as you wanted and in a variety of ways. You could even decide to do it in a simple gambling fashion and hit vegas. You would know what the dealer had, what the other players had, etc, and then you could bet all of your money on big hands. You could affect the wheel in roulette so that the ball landed directly on your number, etc.

You could travel the entire world in what might only be days.

Yeah, that would be awesome.

Love as always,

Sebastian

Answer 2

I would rather have the ability to stop time, because then you could still move around and do stuff without beeing seen while time has stopped, and stopping time gives you so much power instead of just being invisible.

Answer 3

Invisible is easy, plenty of things you can do while you are invisible.

Time is more interesting. Are we talking time where you have one of those remote controls where you stop time for everyone else but you can move freely about seeming to the normal world like an insect buzzing past everyone, or are you stopping time for yourself as in suspended animation.

Since you leave it up to me, I choose remote control time stoppage where i could be a crime-fighting superhero...awesome man

Answer 4

Stop time because then you would effectively become invisible as you would be moving infinitely fast compared to the people who are stopped. Probably someone came up with this, I didn't bother to read the other answers...

Answer 5

Depending on the circumstances. Being invisible would be my 1st choice becasue I'm really nosy (but I might misuse my powers LOL). Stopping time would be nice to have right before I make a bad decision or say/do something I shouldn't.

Answer 6

I think I would like the ability to become invisible. I do so many silly yet stupid things in life and I get so embarrassed, I just wish I wasn't in the area anymore. If I were able to disappear, that would somehow comfort me.

Answer 7

I would like to be able to stop time. Think of all that you can accomplish but doing this. You can prevent disasters from happening. You could get more things done that you wouldn't be able to do in regular time. You can take all the time in the world with out being rushed and you would never be late for work again.

Answer 8

Stop Time ! So , I could smack my boyfriend when he says something stupid without knowing it or anybody in that case !

Not invisible because I already am ! I am not noticed always looked over ! So, I guess I have the luxury of already being invisible ! AND IT AIN'T GOOD EITHER !

Answer 9

I'd like to have the ability to stop time. I could save people's lives or at least prolong them by having the needed time to get them to the hospital and doing much needed research up front.

I'd blow the invisibility power because I couldn't stop myself from talking or wapping someone if they were teasing me. ^_^

Answer 10

stop time, then i can go to a scene that i want to know about that would be really helpful to be invisible, but i would stop the time and go hide in a place nobody could find me at. then i could like stop time in shopping and get that shirt before that lady does. stop time on thanksgiving or christmas shopping and just go through self-checkout when im done shopping.
