   If you had the ability to freeze time, mess with things then start time up again what uses would you put your ability to first?

   (this is essentially a god like power constrained only by your longevity.)

     @futurebird That depends on two things:

     When time is frozen, am I able to see when I'm staying perfectly still? If so, does everything appear white?

     If the answers are "yes" and "no" then, I'm going to start by experimenting with progressively "longer" periods of timefreeze, to see if objects get hotter the longer time is frozen.

     If there's no risk of melting the universe, then I'm going to start by studying the current physics body of knowledge. Then I'm going to get to work on fixing that body of knowledge.

     Explanation:
     If photons are also "frozen" then the only way for me to see is to move so that my eyeballs strike photons. If I can see, then photons keep moving.

     If everything appears white, then a plausible explanation is that there are no new photos emitted, but everything perfectly reflects all photons.

     If photons move and some photons are absorbed, then there MUST be new photons being emitted. (And if objects can't shed heat, then absorbing photons will make them hot.)

     AnthonyJK-Admin repeated this.

     It's magic. Though I'm working on some notions of how light and chemical reactions work -- may just have to leave it at "magic!"

     You can move air around and make vacuums, and walking around leaves little gaps in the density of the frozen air.

     It may be that there is no light. So it would not be possible to open a dark space and look around inside since you have no mental map of where everything was at the freeze point.

     hmmm
