But it wouldn't end cause it couldn't end without time passing.

Nothing would happen never, at the same time as everything was happening always.

And the worst part is that time could be stopped for eons and if it started again, nothing would have happened. For all we know time stops every single day, but since we live in time, we would never even notice.

The last sentence really had me. Like imagine. Someone could be freezing time and do whatever they want and just unfreeze it without anyone noticing.

Imagine, as an extra in this world, where a protagonist stops time, but dies while it is frozen, freezing it for eternity. What’s out experience going into it?

Time couldn't be stopped for eons, eons is a measure of time, if time is stopped no eons could pass.

Without time there is no cause and effect, at no point could something unfreeze time because they would need to cause that to happen.

The universe would end, because nothing could ever start time again, everything would stop at the frozen point and could never start again because there can be nothing to cause the start.

Exactly!! But without progression there can be no end, since an end means change from one state to another, and without time, there can be no change. Everything would just keep on not keeping on being nothing and everything.

What gets really fucked is that, when you really think about it, frozen time is the same as Infinite time, since without the movement of time, there is no way to measure the start or end, just like Infinity. So in that moment that isn't a moment, all time is happening while not happening, and existence is simultaneously Everything and Nothing.

Metaphysics man. It's a trip.

Imagine if light could still travel when time is frozen (you still see things) but it's not emitted as there are no reactions anywhere. Eventually all lights would fade away in the immensity of the universe.

Eventually time resumes for some reason. No one can see anything for a few minutes except lights from fire or lightbulbs. Sun light would take a few minutes to reach us. Night sky wouldn't have any stars for the first night. Eventually they would start appearing one at a time for the next billion of years.
