If time is paused, the environment instantly becomes uninhabitable because the physical mechanics of the universe require time to function. Because light requires time to travel, suspended photons would never reach your retinas, resulting in absolute blindness. Similarly, sound is a mechanical wave that relies on the physical collision of atoms to propagate; without this movement, the atmosphere remains completely silent. Respiration would also fail, as the kinetic motion of oxygen molecules is

Why 50,000 Fish Die Every Second from Suffocation

On August 21, 1986, a sudden, catastrophic natural phenomenon occurred at Lake Nyos, a deep volcanic crater lake in northwestern Cameroon. Deep beneath the surface, years of volcanic activity had heavily saturated the water with a massive, highly pressurized concentration of carbon dioxide gas. A sudden underwater landslide triggered a limnic eruption, causing the lake to violently flip and release a massive gas bubble into the night air. The explosion shot a dense, heavy cloud of roughly one hu
