    As an aside, if light stopped too, wouldn’t that mean that the world would be plunged into darkness?

    Photons of light reflect off of objects, and into our eyes before being converted into electrical signals by the brain and translated into visuals that we see. But to do this, photons and electrical signals need to be able to move through time and space. So if time is stopped, and light is stopped with it, none of that other stuff happens, and we all would effectively be blind. No?

      Photons would still exist, they’d just be frozen in a cloud. You could “see” things by moving towards photon sources, but you’d leave a black fog behind you, and would never be able to see the samething twice.
