Well, I reckon that there's no reason to really answer as you already know it all. You tell us then.

If time stood still, nothing would move or happen ! Everything would be frozen in time.

Personally, I would hate it if time ever stood still. I'm all about the future (planning for the future, making a list for the future, getting prepared and getting things in order). There are so many things to look forward to! I would never want time to stop at any point, for any amount of time. Better to live in each moment than to stop it.

Sometimes I wish time would stand still for a little while. Or at least if I could control it, and pause and unpause it when I wanted to, that'd be pretty cool.

With a power like that you'd be able to enjoy the best moments for longer, and also call a "timeout" when you need a second to think or evaluate a situation.

Hi Kass~ Time did stand still while I was pondering the many pranks that might be played among us,
While your clock is still ticking, everything alive would stop traveling through time. You've only got one earthly hour. What might you do?
I've only got one earthly hour to go to the store and back. It is already late for dinner....
I wish time would stand still for an hour... How about it Kass? Big smiles... what would you do?

Hi Kass ~ That was rather quick of me not to acknowledge you in a moment of a prank rush..
But, since time stood still, I had time to ponder a prank Krass...

Since the 3 of us know if time stood still, we ALL would fall off the face of the earth, you could use this to your pondering advantage.

If it stood still does that mean I would not be late for important things?

If time stood still, it would affect you, me, and everything in the universe.  That would mean that nothing moves, because movement requires time and space.  And no movement means no electrical impulses between synapses, so there would be no thinking or knowledge that time was standing still.  That being the case, there is probably no way to tell if that is something that has happened to us before, or even continuously happens every nanosecond since there would be no way to test for it.  Our universe could be just a series of starts and stops.  

And the stop would be of absolute zero length of time since time would not exist during the stopping.  Okay, my mind is officially blown!

"Time stood still, the way it did before. It's like I'm sleepwalking"

Dude... What are you trying to do? XD You asked a confusing  question like this to try to get confusing answers >.> I like you! Like... A lot lol :D If time stood still, I would imagine we would as well. Do you mean, we'd still be moving but there is no concept of time? Would we freeze with time? Would it be forever daylight or forever nighttime? I admire you... You're smart xD...

Hi Tat ~ I have read and enjoyed all of the above answers to your very good pondering question.  I like the humor in some answers and the logic in others.  Pondering is something I like to do. Since you opened such a wonderful thought, this is what I have come up with.  Please note, I have no point of reference other than the pondering pond in my brain.  So, the validity in this answer is not proven by anyone else and should be served with a danish and a beverage of your choice.  Salt is optional. ;)

It seems to me that if time stood still, everything would fall off our lovely spinning blue planet.

I wrote much more to this answer but then thought better.  It's better to let others fill in their pondering thoughts too! :) :)

Thanks for the day and 1/2 to ponder this and have fun with it Tatsu.
