Would you rather have $10 billion or the ability to stop time.

You wake up tomorrow and gotta choose one :

A clean $10 billion in your bank account. No taxes, no fees or anything of that sort or the ability to stop time.

You will be able to move in stopped time while others are frozen. if you unfreeze time you will go back to the the place where you stopped time.
 
Yes. Only you.
OK, tougher choice... How do physics work with this? Can I move people around? Does electricity and the internet still work as normal? Other people are frozen, but what about animals? Can I go and do unlimited hot laps in other peoples GT3 RS?

I'll still probably take time stopping because I'm an antisocial cunt at the best of times and could get up to some fun wile everyone else is frozen... and "if you unfreeze time you will go back to the the place where you stopped time." and also having the ability to teleport from anywhere, back to home base? That's pretty damn useful.

Everything will be frozen including gravity itself but you can move any object. When you unfreeze time suspended objects will drop due to gravity.
 
Are you still moving through space, the planet still rotating and orbiting the sun... or is half the world trapped in perpetual daylight and half in night time, no tide etc while things are frozen?

That's why I was asking how the physics worked around this - If water can't flow and you can't get it from the tap, that's a world of problems.

Also, back to my other question: "Does electricity and the internet still work as normal?" Power stations require movement to function and generate electricity... no electricity means no heating or cooling. How would any kind of mechanical items work if time is "stopped"?
 
lol 10 billion sounds a lot more less complicated. The ability to stop time, not sure how that will work. But it sounds otherworldly.
 
Stop time. Although driving to get where u want to go would be a pain in the ass obstacle course.

Everything should be frozen including the internet and the sun. You are right, you will be trapped in a perpetual state.
 
Stop time quite easily. You could fuck with criminals and take any money you want from them, find answers to things that would otherwise be impossible to know, stop bad situations from unfolding etc. Hell, being able to troll my wife on command would alone be worth it.

If everything is frozen, no mechanical engine would work, meaning you are effectively stuck to walking/biking distance... starting to sound pretty crap the more that I think about it.

How would noise work? what we see as light are moving photons... No part of this actually works...
