Time is not static. Once you get down to the Planck scale, time seems to stop. So just make yourself very, very, very small and you can experience time stoppage.
Although it’s really our memory that dictates how we perceive the passage of time; our memory only records new information, if time stopped there would be no new information to record (nor could the neurons move to make a record). For all we know time stops all the time and we just don’t know it.
Sorry, I was oversimplifying/you’re right, time doesn’t slow down the smaller you get; I was thinking of how the smallest interval of time at the Planck scale can’t be defined with physics as we know it right now.
But iirc the closer you are to a higher concentration of gravity the more time slows down? I read it in a book Reality is Not What it Seems so I’m just lazily parroting things I have a casual interest in.
We can define time at any arbitrary scale, Planck time is more like a limit to what we can measure.
Time doesn’t slow down on a massive object in its own reference frame. Think of the “one hour here is seven years on Earth” meme from Interstellar. To them, time is moving normally, but relative to Earth, it’s moving really slowly.
Time only passes differently relative to other reference frames (their planet and Earth, for example). Thus the theory of relativity!

nice meme. I’m just here to drive engagement.
It could also speed up, slow down, or maybe even reverse. As part of the flow of time, how would we ever know?
Time does not stop at Planck scale, what do you mean? In any system’s own reference frame time passes at 1 second per second, no matter the scale.
