if you believe in the big bang theory: time, matter, energy and space came into existence at the birth of the universe about 14 billion years ago. one of a few theorectically possible endings is the Big Rip which means the universe expands into nothingness and peeters out of existence some 100,000 billion years (if not a few billion billion years time, some theories varies the end of time). point is the exact pico-second the universe ceases to exist so will time.
however for us mere humans time would have stop long before that.

I'm not sure if your mind is up to this (my isn't), but I seem to recall Stephen Hawkings suggesting that time may not have a beginning or an ending. It might be like traveling north to the end (the north pole) and finding that there was no end there, only a continuation along another longitude (dimension??). For more about time, see the Hawking lecture I've cited as a source.

Time stops every moment of every day. The time you experienced a few minutes ago stopped - and you experienced a new time. The march of time - at least as experienced by humans - does not stop. If it did - there would be no time. So, the answer is - it is always stopping - it is always starting and it will never end. The end of time is simply timeless - and there is no particular "time" at which it stopped.

Don't listen to the relativity baloney - the slowing down of time is relative to the observer - the person who is moving fast does not experience any slowing of time. And, since they never actually reach the speed of light - they never experience time actually stopping.

On the other hand, it might stop at 3:30 tomorrow morning.

Time is a quantity that indicates how fast a process (phenomenon)is taking place.
The Universe is a dynamics system whose structure and motion is time dependent.
If time was to ceasing to exist the Universe would cease to function as it does.
Clocks only measure time relative to different gravity fields. One year on pluto is 247 years of our Earthly year;It is relativity. The weaker the field the longer the time.

well it depends..

at absolute zero all atoms stop moving so that item thats at that tempeture will be "frozen" in that state until it isnt at absolute zero anymore.

einstein said that if you move at the speed of light time will stop for the person and/or thing moving at the speed of light

but unless the universe and everything within collapses upon itself detroying all matter to the point where there is no one who even knows time exist.. i'd say it will go on forever. after all, time is a unit of mesurement nothing more.

What the h........ question is that!!!

When everyone in the world and the universe is dead.

Whether human or animals or insects and whoever dependent and observing time will disappear, vanished and totally wiped out.

So nothing will think about it!

The time stops in my cellfone because low batt! I forgot to charge earlier. he! he! he!

time effectively can be stopped or slowed downby way of speeding up or slowing down depending on the speed you travel maybe even like superman when he turned the earth backwards to save his piece don't quote me on this though

How could you tell? Look at the clock?
Ha, ha! It's not moving!

The definition of time is the existence of matter.

To stop time you must destroy all matter.

Yay.
