I fail to see your reasoning... no matter how fast you go, as long as you keep yourelf under the speed of light, you would never stop in time. If you travelled at the same speed of earth, but in opposite direction, from your pov the earth would be travelling twice as fast, and vice versa.

No. Time would only stand still for you if you travelled at the speed of light. Imagine travelling on a light beam leaving the face of a clock. The clock would never seem to move. It is this sort of thought experiment that old Albert first performed.

it would always be the same moment of the day (although time would still pass like normal) for you and yu would see a lot of different places if you're running along the equator. If you are standing on the axis of rotation (geographic pole N or S) then you don't need to run but paradoxically the time would change (you would have to rotate on yourself in the opposite direction to see the same alignment of stars-or sun so as to keep the same moment) but time hasn't stopped, it just appears to be the same moment because of how we perceive it (position of the sun) - pff not too clear my story, hope OK :-)

No, you will experience the sun moving with double speed on the earth. Then you my think the time is passing with double speed.
If you start in the sunrice in the morning with same direction and speed as the sun, then you will be in the sunrice all the time. But after one round you should change the datum.
If you start on sunrice monday, after one round you have reached the tuesday. You cant avoid him.

No. However, if you attained the correct speed you could go around the Earth and always be at "noon". Your *clock* would "stand still", but time wouldn't.

this question has 2 things:
1. you would be in different parts, and probably there, you have the international changes in hours, days, etc. In that sense, time would be kind of still.
2. if you carried a watch...well...time went on.
what you have to do is travel close to c

Time relative to you would be constant but time relative to the Earth would go forwards until you hit the international date line crossing the Pacific Ocean

no dont be silly...you would av to travel at light speed for time to stand still...and the earth dont move at 186,000 miles per sec

no you would just travel round the earth in twelve hours

No-you would probably float away as gravity has been neutralised.
(the time we speak about would have changed, but say you walked for five minutes-you would still have aged by 5 mins).
