If the clock stops clicking...what would happen to time?

Answer 1

If the clock stops ticking, (not clicking) it has to be repaired.... time never stops because, before clocks were invented there were other means to calculate time.

Answer 2

A clock is not time. It is merely a manmade construct to place artificial limits on time. Therefore a stopped clock places no restriction on time itself, though it may make you late for work...lol

Answer 3

Time is a measure of the change of the universe.

If the clock stops ticking... all right, we can no longer measure the change, but the change still occurs.

Answer 4

You would find yourself in the present where everything happens at once. Actually, you've always been there, but clocks trick you into thinking that there is time.

Answer 5

if the clock stopped buy a new clock

if time stopped nothing would change.

time is the measurement of ongoing change. without change there would be no time. with change there must be time

Answer 6

Nothing - time existed before clocks and will continue long after clocks

Answer 7

Time keeps marching on, with or without a clock to remind us.

Answer 8

Brystal is right there is no such thing as time. Time is relative and we created it so we can expalin and measure speed, velocity and acceleration.
Anyway, what clock are you talking about? yours? mine? the atomic clock?
If it happens it would just be technical malfunction

Answer 9

Just think about how time is reckoned. It ain't with a clock.

Answer 10

nothing, time is an apriori concept that we project onto the world in order to make sense from it, likewise space. Measurements were made to quanify it afterwards. See Kant.
