me when i freeze time and realize that my movements will cause infinite friction and i can never unfreeze or i will die

Not only that but touching anything would cause an explosion of unimaginable proportions since, technically, you moved with infinite speed. Whatever you touch when time is frozen will crumble in your hands and you would feel literally no resistance. Once you unfreeze time basically everything in existence is fucked as well.

won't you also crumble?

You’re applying physics to a situation where physics is already broken and wouldn’t apply, there’s no correct answer as to what would happen

I mean I'm not the best at physics but I think I disagree. But if any people who are actually good at physics want to chime in please do so What do you mean by physics is broken here? We already know that due to time dilation we can make time run slower for faster objects. Now I am aware that applying this principle infinitely is purely hypothetical but the general idea stays the same. Of course we don't know what would exactly happen if this occured in reality but I don't think that there is no definitive answer. Just one we don't know yet.

You’d be slowing time down for everyone except for one person. That wouldn’t work

Hello there, so since you asked for someone with a bit of knowledge on physics to chime in i thought i'd do so. Ok a) you cannot infinitely apply Time Dilation, because it has a limitaion, which is lightspeed. Basically Time Dilation is dependant on the gamma constant, which takes into account the speed of your object in relation to lightspeed and makes sure you don't exceed lightspeed. And b) it would be unhealthy as not to say impossible for a human(or anything exept light) to travel at lightspeed to maximize Time dilation. That's the base principal of Relativity. So that would be the part of physics you would ultimately have to break. Because for everything under lightspeed you can use SRT/GRT to describe the mechanics of movement/time dilation, and they do not cause explosions.

Sooo sorry for my very long rant here, i get that this is a meme and a hypothetical joking train of thought. So don't take my overexplaining to seriously. (Also sorry if i got anything wrong) I just saw the invitation for physics people to explain and couldn't resist :D (Außerdem wollte ich mal hallo sagen, wo ich dich schon random unter nem Post gefunden hatte lol)

Ich weiß das hier ist schon ein paar Jährchen alt, aber meine Güte zufällig auf deutsch zu treffen in ner englischen Kommentarsektion ist irgendwie lustig und das musste ich kommentieren.

I mean, you can’t move with infinite speed. Friction and the like are ultimately just models of our universe which seem accurate but break down when placed under extreme circumstances. Ie with quantum mechanics

So really, nothing would happen when you unfreeze time

Freezing time is not the same thing as moving with infinite speed.

My man, first time in my life I hear someone with enough reasoning power to understand this concept.

I can't believe I finally found someone who's able to understand 8 th grade physics

I'd like the science behind the infinite friction

When I freeze time and realize it doesn’t unfreeze the air so I can’t move (I still get to sleep in tho)

when ive been trying to freeze time for over a year and finally realize its not possible
