If you could freeze time at will....

[Endoperez]

Why do you think you'd have to steal anything? I'd have a little talk with Mr Randi, then try and see if I get hungry while the time is stopped. If I do, I'd probably age, as well.  Nothing's as good as it's made to be...

However, unlimited time isn't that good. Really. I completed my finals last week, and have "nothing to do" 'till mid-June. Of course, now I "have time" to clean my room, the house, learn to make food, then make it for the whole family, do sports, read fiction, play Dominions, play M&B, complete X-Com1, enjoy Dungeon Crawl, sling when the snow melts away and I can find some rocks... ...learn to actually do something nice with 3d-modeling, traditional drawing, simple woodworks, simple leatherworks, braiding, some knots, maybe knitting, playing a recorder, doing martial arts, learning quarterstaff-fighting, play Dominions 3 when it comes out...

and what to I do? I write meaningless lists to the internet. Everyone has enough time. However, no one can have enough time to do everything. It's through management that you allocate your time effectively. Unfortunately, that means leaving something out. (In my case, that'd mean me not writing this post. ) And, even worse, in the beginning you have to spend time to learn how to effectively use your time.

Well, why would you have to stop moving? Time doesn't actually exist, it's just a measurement for motion. It's not like removing a universal law like gravity from a planet, which is something that would effect everyone.

If all motion would stop, nothing would move, thus air would be thick and you couldn't move through it, even if you wouldn't have been stopped.
So, it kind of is like removing an universal law.
The law of: motion.

I hope you all will never gain such a power (well including me too )

No, not really. If everything stopped you'd die as you wouldn't be able to breathe. But again, what says you have to stop everything?

As an aside, the law of motion is something different entirely.

Yes, You would suffocate, but you couldn't move before that 
And the last part was a joke.

think it as time stop spell in D&D.
Actually you act too fast so that everything except you seems like frozen.

 

[Silverfox]

I wonder though... would you age prematurely from the time spent in freeze?

 

[Rabid Potatoe]

I'd eviscerate everyone I don't like

 

[Lu Bu]

Not really. If everything stopped you wouldn't need to breathe at all. But then you still couldn't care less because you wont notice that "time" stopped at all, you wont notice anything before "time" started again.

This is more likely, but has mayor disadvantages... You would age much faster and I dont know how fast you would have to be, but if you are unlucky and to old already you would more or less instantly die. Now even if you wont age super fast, you still would have problems and be hindered in doing quite a lot of things.

So I dont want this crap ability but something really powerful like the alibity to control everything living being at will.

You could then still eviscerate everyone you dont like and also simple do EVERYTHING you want, when you want and to/whit whom you want.

So probably just add immortality to it and you are quite the god...

Nope. I don't think traveling fast makes you older. Well actually in our universe, traveling fast makes the time slower according to Einstein. But I wonder whether cells die due to overusage or not? I really appreciate any explanation or speculation about this.

I wouldn't steal, mostly because I'm not anasshole.

I'd just freeze time in the middle of the street and draw mustaches on everyone

Definately. Well, maybe not. i would probably NOT steal, much. But I'd never lack for (some) anything. I'd also definately draw on several people I don't like.  I have wondrred what it would be like to pause time at will. I wonder though, it would be creepy if other people could, what would they do to your body?
--------------------
I belive that if you go fast enough, you'll move backwards.

Of course your body and vehichle would get ripped apart first.

 

[Sir Prince]

what would they do to your body?

*Imagines supermodels freezing time*

*Imagines what pavlov might do*

*shudders*

*quickly thinks about supermodels*

 

[thesneakster]

Hmm.... i'd probbaly go steal some gold, then go buy an island, get cable for it ect, a good computer and that kind of thing (all in real time, except for the gold stealing)

 

[Endoperez]

That depends entirely on his fianceé, wouldn't you say?

 

[thesneakster]

Wonder if she's any of the gf's that pav's posted pics of before?

 

[An4Sh]

freeze time which will destroy the universe or slow down everything else so much it looks like you froze time?

Nether, just quicken yourself or stop everyone (not everythng) but you. And stop aging.

 

[An4Sh]

I would steal beers from the stereo type americans and watch them go berserk...or just steal ten banks and all the consoles INCLUDING their games!

Thats the funniest idea i've read.

On second thought - I'd have some fun in Sweden

"Fun"? With which sex? Although they'd probaply appreciate either way
