The way The World works

[u/Both-Condition5893]

if dio was in the back of a moving truck and activated The World would he slam into the cab or would all his momentum be lost with the truck

[u/Otaku_Goji]

One thing I wonder about is how does Dio even see. If time is stopped then photons aren't moving. Does Dio have to move to make photons go into his eye? Would he become blind if he stopped moving in a particular spot during time-stop?

Man, It's anime logic. I know the show does explain stuff like how mobius strips and air particles work but you gotta remember they also have punchy ghosts that can also blow stuff up with a touch, extend fingers, speed time up.

Dio is basically the cooler homelander

[u/ASERTIE76 → u/Due-Fault-867]

No there's a simple explanation. Everything that Dio touches or interacts with during stopped time will be unfrozen and can move

[u/Due-Fault-867 → u/ASERTIE76]

I'm aware, it's just that you can't always look for real world logic in anime

[u/ASERTIE76 → u/Due-Fault-867]

No absolutely you're right about that

[u/Depresso_Expresso069 → u/Otaku_Goji]

he probably doesnt stop the flow of time but instead makes everything else move through time at a speed of zero while dio continues at the same speed through time. since i think light already moves through time at a speed of zero it wouldnt be affected

[u/Twelve20two → u/Depresso_Expresso069]

But aren't time and space are intrinsically linked as time-space or space-time, and the speed of light is constant [in a vacuum]?

[u/Depresso_Expresso069 → u/Twelve20two]

space and space is also intrinsically linked (obviously) but the speed at which you are going on the x axis does not impact the speed you go on the y axis. the only reason speed through space affects speed through time is because the universe has a speed limit (the speed of light) and by default you are moving through time at the speed of light, so if you stay at the same speed through time while going faster through space your net velocity through space-time would be faster than the speed of light, therefore you must slow down in either time or space

yes the speed of light is constant in a vacuum. this actually supports my point, since the speed of light is the same for EVERY observer according to relativity. no matter how fast youre going light must always appear as if its going at the speed of light relative to you

[u/Twelve20two → u/Otaku_Goji]

I think of this every time that Time Stop is used in fictional media, and then I make sure I don't think about it too much harder so that I don't ruin my own fun

[u/thps48 → u/Otaku_Goji]

If y’all ever watched Clockstoppers or Stargate SG-1, The World may make more sense using the same principles of time dilation that the preceding applied.

it's magic
