What would happen if you could stop time around an object? I mean, absolute stasis? This is similar to what happened to Lister in Red Dwarf.
If time doesn’t exist for that object, then logically, neither should velocity. You need time to cross a distance.
The Earth is spinning at over a thousand miles an hour (at the equator), and it in turn is orbiting the Sun at tens of thousands of miles per hour (don’t quote me on those numbers). The solar system travels through the Milky Way galaxy, which in turn is moving away from the origin of the theoretical Big Bang.
If you stopped time around an object, would the Earth, solar system, and our galaxy leave it behind at an unprecedented speed? Would the object rip through the planet like straw through a tree in a hurricane if it was on the opposite side of the planet from universal coordinate zero?
The reason I ask is I was musing on whether I could put Geoffrey in stasis for a night or two, allowing Mellissa and I a “vacation”. Of course, even given the impossibility of it, my brain had to try to figure out the ramifications.
Any theoretical physicists out there? Or Trekkies (Trekkers!)?
