Can time be stopped?

Open in App

Solution

Yes, it can be achieved by moving at the velocity of light. This is because the greater velocities increase the time dilation.
Moving at the speed of light increases the mass of the body to infinity as per Einstein's special relativity.
This increase in mass will significantly affect time nearly to stop it. That's also the reason why an object cannot achieve the speed of light.
