The simple answer: No, time doesn't stop at absolute zero. Other things still move in relation to whatever is at absolute zero, so from our reference point it does not stop.

There's a LOT more to it than that, though. For example, how does one define time? Theoretically, time does 'flow' at different rates in different places depending on a number of things, but it's only a unit of measurement. How one defines time is really the determining factor in how you answer that question.

I'm not a quantum physicyst, so I'm not going to try to define time or rewrite the rules of the universe... I'll leave that to geniouses like Stephen Hawking...
