It depends on what you mean. For any person, their time will always pass as it does here on earth. Doesn't matter what they are doing or where.
Even if you could travel at the speed of light this would be true. But once you start comparing how time passes for observers at different speeds, time doesn't remain so constant. If you suddenly accelerated away from a clock at the speed of light, the light forming the image of the clock in your eyes would be traveling with you. The clock would appear to be frozen in time. But your watch would run normally. Time is not the same for things moving at different speeds.
If you fell into a black hole you would be seen by others outside as moving in slow motion and they to you would be moving fast.
But there is a place where time does not exist and that is at the center of a black hole according to current theory. A black hole is where matter is compressed into zero volume which would make for an infinite density and something called quantum gravity takes over. It rips space and time apart leaving only a timeless remnant of space called quantum foam.

What is that we want to achieve by stopping time? Time moves along with other spatial co-ordintates as per "Einstein". I do not understand what do you mean by freezing time alone without defining what happens to the rest of the dimensions?
Together all the four forms a fabric (imaginary). That makes light bend and space around the heavier objects bend as well. Remove time, I am not there to think... oh I am going crazy!

The only thing that can come close to slowing time right now is slowing the speed of light which only certain stones can do, I believe it's the ruby that slows that down.
I don't want to say "no", but until they make a breakthrough discovery or a revolutionary theory, that's gonna be the right answer for now.
Remember, science is more about theory's than it is about facts. A fact is just a theory that doesn't have contradictions (YET).

No it isn't. What you can do, however, if slow it down so much it is almost stopped. You do this by going really close to the speed of lgiht or a large gravity source. If you do that, then for every second that passes for you, years pass for everyone else (although you will percieve time as moving at hte same rate for you, but slwo for everyone else).

at light speed it may be possible einstein said that when approaching light speed, time slows down, so when u get to a speed bigger than the speed of light time becomes negative but his theories can't be proved.

Please don't ever think of making the impossible possible. You can Stop your clock

i hope so! i wanna do that! but so far, it isn't. it would probably be in the future.. :)

they say it happens near a black hole!
