And would it also cut gaps into the beams while he walked?

If time stopped under a light and you were able to move i think there still would be a shadow because for one thing there are regions of space without time...like at the center of a black hole. No light will be emitted from the black hole ...it kinda of mirrors the situation that you speak of. Another explantation for the stadow would be that the equations that explain the propagation of Electromagnetic fields are time dependent...namely the magentic filed must change with respect in time in order for an electric field to be created. Stoppoing time should eliminate that process...hence you will have a rigion where the light could not exsist. OF course I have ingnore alot of factors to come to that conlusion ..like how the heck can you move if there is not time, how is your brian able to interpret no time etc. But I know you are just curious and asking for fun..so i wont be a brat about it. Hope that helped

Light is electromagnetic radiation travelling throught space... light waves are very fast but they do take time to travel from a to b just like anything else Stopping time would stop light waves from moving and therefore you wouldn't be able to see anything anyway.. in fact.. wouldn't you be stopped as well. I guess if you *can* still see things then light must still be moving so the shadow would move too.
So its a no.. the shadow would not remain still, it would move, but really you're not gonna get a useful answer seeing as the premise is entirely fantastical.

However there is a theory of different dimensions in space and time. My thought is that if you somehow manages to move from one dimension in the space time continuum and then came back to your own dimension then maybe time would have stopped for a lot less than a split second until you returned because the universe would then have to take time necessary to repair itself otherwise you would be trying to brake a worm hole and turn it into a slinky to change its direction and it doesn't work that way

No... they have moved... hence, the shadow has moved!!! Rmember though, that your shadow can never trully be in the right place!!! Light takes a while to travel... therefore causing the shadow!!!

well i think of it as freezing everything and then having one person move. so the shadow would remain. your stopping the light waves and particles in time. so like the prequency and what not. but once you start time agian thered be a phomenom skip of light.

On my planet, time and light have no direct link.
