I see what you mean by being able to freeze an object from aging and in a sense that is time travel. But not really necessarily if you think about it. Your not literally pausing an objects time lapse but just "preserving" its current state until a later time.
Honestly when you talk about time you are entering a world of theory and creativity.
Like stated by BOROSUN,
I don't see time as a string but more like a road. Only difference is I don't believe there is just one road. I believe there can be several roads and to be able to jump time or "time travel" if you will you are not speeding up the travel on that road but simply finding a short cut or another road to travel on that gets you to your destination quicker. It may seem crazy but if you think about it enough it makes sense.
Here is an example.
Our earth completes a full rotation after 24 hours
Which means our earth rotates at the equator at appox. 1038 miles each hour but decreases when you move up or down from the equator. It becomes about 600-700mph at mid latitude because our earth is a circle. So the farther away you go from the center the slower the rotation is.
So does that mean it takes more actual time for the mid latitude area to complete a full rotation than the center of out earth.
Here is another example that may make more sense.
Im in Florida and its 6 o clock. In California its 3 o clock. But it only takes 1.5 hours to travel on a plain. In a sense thats jumping onto another road of time that passes faster than it does on earth. Because in a sense it should take 3 hours or more to get to California from Florida on earth but when you leave earths surface or time "road" you are traveling on a different time road in a sense.
Now in that theory if we were able to travel faster than we do now we should be able to "jump" time or in a sense time travel. But we are still aging so we are not necessarily paused or not aging but just in a way preserving our current state.
When we are on that flight we have only aged 1.5 hours compared to the 3 hours the earth has aged so if we were able to travel faster like lets say it takes us only 10 seconds to make that flight from fl. to cali. we haven't stopped aging but just in away preserved our time clock of aging over the earths in a sense.
So another question to ask is does our earth age at the same rate we do.
Its confusing but I hope that makes sense
