What Happens: Josie discovers that her watch has given her the ability to apparently stop time. Of course, as Lucas points out, it actually slows time in her frame of reference.
What's Involved: What Lucas means is that Josie is moving at a speed so fast that everything looks slow to her; so slow, in fact, that everything appears to have stopped. From the others' frame of reference (A.K.A. point of view,) her motion is too fast to be detected, and therefore, she would need to stand still for (from her view) a long time in order to be detected.
Now, exactly how fast did Josie have to move so this could happen?

Of course, this is much faster than she could physically accomplish on her own. Our bodies weren't designed to take that.
Also, there are some more issues. ygdeygiuewhuiref
Obviously, the vortex provided some assistance.
So, can time really stop?
No one knows. First, we have to answer that age-old question, "What is time anyway?" I'm not going to mess with this, but if you are interested, visit my
However, do note that time is measured by the events that occur in it. Usually, this is the movement of a clock's hands. If absolutely nothing happens, and no one is around to observe it, does time truly move? We first should figure out if a tree falling in the woods makes a sound (that was a joke.) According to Einstein time is relative (depends on who's experiencing it and how.)
Final Verdict: Just Maybe. (BH)
Josie's connection with the watch is unexplained, as well as the source of her speed (she's going to be sore tomorrow!) However, the twins paradox has been demonstrated many times.
