Computers can stop time because they don’t have to execute instructions. In a sense this is an example of what that affords.
Think of a physical message on a piece of paper. The paper is on fire. You can still see the text, but it’s too late to put out the fire.
If you have good memory, you can figuratively stop time at that instant and memorize the contents of the paper. With a computer, the message is already “burned” on the server, but the frozen instant in front of you can be extended indefinitely.
