Re: Earth Stopping and Perception.

The rotation of the planet does not generate the sense of time. It is
our minds that do this, as we move around material environments we

rotating a comfortable distance from the sun, the planet will have one
dark side and one light side, but the rate of change in perception
will remain the same.

That is if newtons gravity works. It is possible that the earth is
throwing things away at some rate to what it is also attracting. A
gravity and an inertia so to speak.

Wrong! If the Earth were to stop rotating then the day would be one year long. If, however, it managed one rotation per year then the condition you specified would occur. There would be one side permanently dark and on side permanently light (assuming no nutations.)
