Travel at the speed of light, stupid
Everyone knows that time slows as you reach this speed.

During World War Two, the method of stopping a time bomb was to get a really big permanent magnet, and ... CLUNK! on the side of the bomb. There were no quartz movements or such things then, and the magnet dragged the spindles of the clock gears hard against the sides of their pivot holes. It only takes a little extra friction like that to completely stop a mechanical clock.

The best way to stop a time bomb is to call Doctor Who ..... I'm sure I have his number here somewhere ..... er .... damn .... too late now probably.
Oh, while you're there (if you still are) I was trying to answer your question about fat people leaving their homes when the question seemed to disappear all of a sudden, so I'll answer it here if that's OK. If you're still interested that is. And alive.
Personally I don't have a problem with fat people leaving their homes. I realise they may not have access to a computer or the Internet so they can order online for their next fix of greasy junk food, buuuuuttttt ...... my beef with fat people is they take up so much ROOM! I'm 5'7" and quite skinny and have very long legs and can't help walking really fast. These butterballs walk so slooooowwwly and take up so much room on the pavement and on staircases and you can't get past them. Also they spill over on to my seat on aeroplanes, buses and trains and look really offended if you can't or won't comply with their demand to 'budge up a bit could you?'. I think they should pay for two tickets if they need two seats. Apart from that .... er, in conclusion, I think fat people are fine. As long as they are not getting in my way by waddling along on their podgy, stumpy little legs in front of me. Or trying to sit on me. Fair enough?

Find the live wire in the bomb.

Only an expert should try. However, I'd guess that liquid nitrogen is cold enough to freeze any mechanism (clock), reduce output of batteries to zero and chill explosive materials to avoid a chemical reaction.

You gotta be kidding.
Call the bomb squad. 911 should get you there.
