Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Questions from a Newbie... Time and Stuff.

Hi guys,
I'm a little new to this Physics game, but it really interests me. I have a few questions I was hoping you all could help me out with.
--First off is time. It seems that the majority of the science world assumes that there is such a thing as a snapshot of time. What's some of your views on this? Can you take an Instant from something that is Infinite? It seems to me that say, i.e, I am in motion. To take an Instant Pic of me in motion would render me (and Time) motionless. But that would place relative, definitive points on two things that, well are defined as constantly changing. It looks like we are trying to describe the infinite as a finite system.
--Next is absolute zero. Okay, I think absolute zero is in a nutshell 'no movement even at the subatomic level'. I know that is simplifying things a little, but anyway. (Disregarding Laws of Thermodynamics, and Heisenburg's UP) If an object theoretically reached AZ, would that object cease to exist? Reason, aren't the atomic and subatomic all based around Bipoles? If there was no movement at all at the subatomic level wouldn't the energy required to create those bipoles be non-existant? Because energy would be movement and that would get us +AZ. What would happen?? Since Matter is, in a sense Energy, and there can be no energy at AZ, would that object simply cease to exist? Or is this another reason why AZ cannot be reached? Also, might it also go along with an impossiblity to take a Snapshot of Time??
These are just some things I've been pondering on. Remember I'm a newbie... So please don't sacrafice me to your Physics God.
