According to physics, stopping time would comes with a lot of hindrances such
as:

  * When stopping time, everything including molecules are stopped. You are stuck where you because you can't move air molecules out of the way. Also breathing would be literally impossible.
  * With all molecules stopped, there would be no heat generated. Your environment would become zero degrees Kelvin (the temperature at which molecules stop moving) and you would freeze to death.
  * Stopping time stops photons of light from moving, so you are unable to see

Also if Dio actually stopped time, how would this work if his stand only has a
10 meter radius? That means he's creating numerous time ripples because his
time stop doesn't apply to anything beyond 10 meters.

**Would this mean that instead of stopping time, he is actually moving at the
speed of light?** According to [one hypothetical question on the physics stack
exchange](https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/29082/would-time-freeze-
if-you-could-travel-at-the-speed-of-light), moving at the speed of light would
make time appear to stop.

Is Dio's The World actually allowing him to move at the speed of light?


There's going to be some amount of magical hand waving in any time
manipulation ability and I haven't seen Jojo or "the world", but perhaps it
could be similar to a time stop from Artemis Fowl. A time stop is a finite
zone in which time is stopped for the consciousness of all conscious beings
inside.

To those who are inside, the only effect is that all communications and time-
dependent devices (clocks, TV, phone signal, etc.) are stopped and living
beings cannot fall asleep. Any natural processes happen normally, there's no
wind but you can breathe but you cannot physically leave because the outside
world doesn't exist in relation to a time stopped zone. When the time stop
ends, those affected by it instantly have their time set to the normal time
(e.g. if time is stopped at noon for 4 hours you experience noon for 4 hours
and when it ends your time resumes normally from 4 pm).

To those who are outside the field, nothing appears wrong with the time
stopped area and you can walk into it but any conscious beings who were inside
are gone, trapped in past at the moment the time stop started and will only
reappear when it ends.

The time stop apparently only traps your consciousness at that moment and
detains the body of anyone affected until it ends, this is why I guess the
whole molecules/photons not moving isn't a problem.

Okay, now that I've gotten that out of the way, time stopping time.

Based off that information, I think DIO stops time, stopping everything in a
certain radius, making everyone unconscious, but out of the radius they seem
to be moving, explaining how us viewers are still able to see DIO

move in Timestop.

Hope this helps.
