So what if Time stood still?

If the earth stopped its rotation on its axis and just stopped dead in its orbit around the sun, would time stand still? We have calculated time based on the lunar and solar cycles. We have named seasons depending on where we are in the rotation. Isn't there a saying, What goes around comes around? What if, Time stood still and there is nothing going round and round.

With each major natural catastrophe, we hear scientists say that the axis of the Earth is tilting. So did the earth once upon a time spin perfectly well on its axis? I can imagine earth like a top, spinning perfectly well. It would seem like it would never stop its rotation. But as we all have experienced, the top doesn't go on and on, it falls down on its side after some time. Is Earth similar to the spinning of a top except that it is spinning both on its axis and it is spinning around the Sun. If what scientists say is true about the Sun, i.e., that is a star and as all stars have a fall out sooner or later, would earth also stop its rotation and stop dead in its tracks.

Is that the reason why Man is so adamant about finding a way out of this natural catastrophe. We spend billions of dollars trying to figure out a solution to man made problems. Every generation is trying to outlive the past generation one way or the other. Each year we are exploring both the depths of the ocean and the heights of "heaven" to find a place where we can survive if Earth suffers from a natural catastrophe. We have come up with ingenous ways on how to thwart an asteroid attack. We have never tried it before, but theoretically it is possible. We have seen how people in the East, who outlived the atomic bomb, suffered and still survived a scientific experiment in real time.

Do we believe that we can do the same by either exploring the space above and finding another planet such as Earth to continue the human race. Isn't that what Star Trek expeditions are all about? Flights of human imagination!!!..

Scientists must be able to help us. They have been able to help us with a lot of their discoveries and inventions, haven't they? I would like for them to tell me how many years more do we have before the next major earthquake, the next tsunami, the next hurricane and tornado hits my city. The warnings they give me is not sufficient. But then, I could get killed walking down the sidewalk because somebody did not have the common sense to not get behind the wheel when they are not in a stable state of mind to just concentrate on driving.

So when does time stand still? I haven't talked to a dead person to find out if he/she has any concept of time as we who are still alive know it. Could it be when keeping track of time doesn't really matter anymore? Could it be a time when we don't have to worry about hunger and thirst? Could it be a time when it doesn't matter whether you are in pain or in joy? Because that's what you will experience when time stands still. What if we could imagine what it would look like if time stood still?
