Why would a time stopping phenomenom stop a clock? What sense

You just explained missing time. Whenever you clock seems to skip forward, you were probably just molested by someone with a time stopping device.

Is it just me or are there a disproportionate number of time and clock related posts lately? What's going on?

Who asked?

Because a time stopping phenomenon would stop *everything*.

>>18543548
Time doesn't reality.

Well time is just a consequence of causality. So in order to stop time, you'd have to stop cause and effect. You can see why that might prevent a clock from ticking.

the only way for a clock hand to move from point A to point B on the face is if time is passing. without the passage of time, the clock has effectively stopped.

The incident that sparked the question was that one where a bunch of people went missing in a lighthouse and all the clocks were stopped, tho I know I've heard similar things before.

Well, I don't recall the exact explanations, but I do understand that "Time" is the result of the movement of I don't know what.

But you know, that just makes the question even more complicated.

the movement of anything at all, probably. the only way we measure time is by observed change.
