Not for you, it doesn't. The edge of a black hole is called an event horizon, and time relative to the traveller crossing the event horizon will continue. To an external observer, the person crossing the horizon will either (not sure) cease to exist or appear frozen.

Of course all answers to this question are completely and utterly theoretical ---the absolute here--to our knowledge is --we do not know--and between our not knowing and our knowing there IS THAT STRETCH OF TIME that will bring even more theories and conjecture---the widest excepted theory here is that for you (if psyhically possible in any regards to survive the pressures of the entry) time would resume only on the measure of the time consistancy within the black hole as to whatever that relation to the time consistancy outside the entity was---to you and all other things within it THAT WOULD BE THE TIME----but tomorrow may bring another theory to the table----these are the mind games of the people who have pressed beyond the limits of applied science and are working as hard as they can to keep their jobs as on board geeks at the largest research institutions in the world--drawing unbelievable money-----so they HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING EVERY NOW AND THEN TO KEEP THE CHECKS COMING IN

This brings about a larger question. Does time exist outside of Earth ? Time is an idea established by humans to show the past from the present. Does the rest of the Universe run in "Time"? Its kind of like when your board, time goes real slow but, when your having fun time goes by fast. Is that a paradox of time? Does time really slow down when we are board? You must also think about time zones. time is different across the globe from country to country. It is not defined in space. So the answer to your question is, yes and no. No because there is no time to stop and yes because theoretically time is stopped.

That's the theory. Since space and time are linked, theoretically time would stop in a black hole. But, it's kind of hard to prove.

Theoretically, yes.
Space and time warp around mass. All mass. The greater the mass, the bigger the warp. At a point of infinite mass, time and space should cave in on itself.
Again, just theoretically.

Time is relative. If space and time are distorted near a black black hole who can say how they are affected? It's all theory.

Time is relative to the speed of the object. Time only stops when the object stop existing. Time is only an abstract idea after all.

Who says time stops? I would like to interview the person who experienced this phenomon.

no, time never stops. but again you couldn't tell inless you were on the outside watching. what is time inless you move i.e. world spining or going around the sun.
