Basically sleep paralysis
Comment on Anon freezes time
Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 4 months agoDidn’t even think about this. I thought of how crushingly boring and annoying it must have been to have been unable to move at all. For 6 months.
And now I realize it must have been dreadful, at first.

So either six months of sleep paralysis or you experience six months of time in the instant that time returns, possibly mentally handicapping people from the sensation. Yeah, OP better go into hiding, anyone who survives will hunt them down - regardless of what they do.

Imagine if your one of the thousands of people who would likely happen to have the sun in their eyes at the instant of freezing.

Or getting frozen mid-orgasm.

Depending on the exact moment you might assume you died and the ecstasy you were feeling was an afterlife.

Getting post orgasmic torture from a dominatrix tho…

Good thing is that since time has stopped, you won’t get your eyes burnt since light stopped travelling as well.

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?

Yes, see my other answer.

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.

Does this mean everything would be dark?

The scenario doesn’t really make sense as the electro-chemical activity in your brain woul be stopped as well, so tou couldn’t be conscious.
But if we suspend disbelief, you could say that you’re stuck with the image that got to your retina when time stopped. Which means that you couldn’t see the protagonist moving!
Also, realistically, he couldn’t even move as he’d be against a barrier of unmovable air.

if a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around to hear it.
Does that mean that when photons stop moving, nobody can see them?
