If you want to freeze time, by the book you have to use time dilation. Time dilation is the thing where the closer you approach the speed of light, the more time flows around you. So basically it throws you into the future. From your perspective, everything starts moving quickly the faster you move, and from someone else's perspective, you move slower, even though you are still moving very, very fast.

Theoretically, if you get to the speed of light, you do the exact opposite of freezing time. The entire universe gets created and destroyed in an instant. Basically you just divided by zero, only with time.

Additionally theoretically, if you go faster than the speed of light, you begin to move backwards through time, however, getting to that speed involves going the speed of light first, and going that fast might not end well.

AND... (I'm getting so off the point here) the faster you go through space, the more of your energy gets converted to mass or some jazz like that. Basically the faster you go the heavier you get. When you get to the speed of light, your mass becomes infinite, causing the biggest black hole the universe has ever seen (and will ever see). Thankfully that black hole is stuck an infinite amount of years in the future. But not so good for you.

Here's a graph showing time dilation:



.

So, to get the dilated time to be zero, you'd have to not move at all.

So you'll have to somehow stop the movement of Earh, the solar system, the galaxy, and maybe even the universe.

I haven't really done all the math, so that might not even work.
