Time does not stop. It may only be the relative perception of time stopping, however.
Time is really just a measurement of progression. Unlike in a lot of science fiction, time is not able to be manipulated forward backward or stopped.

In relativity, speed is not the same. In Newtonian mechanics, which is to say the way we think of speed, time and distance in every day life, both time and distance are unchaining absolute values. A second is always the same amount of time and a mile is always the same distance. But in relativity, only the speed of light is unchanging. Everything else changes. A miles is not always the same distance and a second is not always the same amount of time. Only the speed of light is absolute and never changes. There are some extremely weird rules in relativity to calculate distance and time as a result. In relativity two people can observe the same event and not even agree when it happened.
Relativity is just so strange that a whole book would not be enough to explain it, much less a few lines here.
The only reason we don't notice these strange effects is because they don't get large enough to notice except at speeds very close to light. Only light itself, and subatomic particles, ever go that fast.

speed is v and distance is d and time is t so v=d/t we know that at the light speed the time which has been measured is zero so the speed must be infinity but its a mathematical conclusion .
in physics we have limitations . light speed is the maximum speed in the universe and the maximum speed in the universe travels without time

Time doesn't stop Inside an object travelling at the speed of light; it THEORETICALLY slows down, relative to the "outside" world, which is where distance-vs-time (i.e., the "speed" is measured. So, as the real world has shown, time-and-again, light does travel.
This is yet another example of why they try to teach the logic fallacy called "hypothesis contrary to fact."

time does not stop. If light has a speed, and speed is a function of distance and time, then only time and distance can measure speed.

Light still travels, it travels at a very definite and constant speed for all observers of roughly 300,000 kilometres per second. (I can confirm this, having measured c myself in a laboratory years ago.)
Light can travel at this speed, and ONLY at this speed in a vacuum, because its rest mass is zero. An object with a 'real' mass is restricted to traveling less than c, and an object with 'imaginary' mass (that is, with a mass which is expressed using the square root of -1) would in principle be forced to travel at all times FASTER than light. These particles, called 'tachyons' meaning 'fast particles' as opposed to regular mass which are called 'tardyons', are purely theoretical and have never been observed in reality.
Now, since light travels at the speed of light and, as you observe, the time dilation factor is infinite at that speed, does time elapse for them to travel? The answer is no — FOR THE PHOTON, and yes — FOR AN EXTERNAL OBSERVER.

Time does not stop. But if you somehow managed to stop it (which by the way is impossible), light would not travel. speed=distance/time. speed would be 299,792,458/0 meters per second, since time has stopped. That simplifies to 0 meters per second, which is not travelling.

you will have a component if that have been how LIDAR works, although that's not. It does not degree velocity between 2 predetermined lines, it measures the substitute in mirrored image time of distinctive bursts of infrared gentle. advantageous attempt nevertheless.

time does not stop.
Rather it approaches zero and does not make it insignificant.
light still travels.
