Right, but if time stopped, it doesn't matter how many seconds ago a photon was emitted does it? It still wouldn't travel distance over time, and thus, how would it ever make it to you?

 

"If time stopped" is a huge hypothetical (and an unphysical one at that) which wasn't part of the original thought experiment.

It is a big hypothetical, but it would also answer whether or not gravitational fields are really analogous or quantized bundles of energy traveling at specific speeds.
