This is 100% untrue... Time slows as you approach the speed of light. It's where the whole theory/myth of time travel comes from because if time stops at the speed of light, what happens when you travel faster than the speed of light?
This has been proven. If you take two atomic clocks and put one at the base of the empire state building and one at the top then time passes more slowly for the clock at the top than the clock at the base. And that's accounting for time dilation due to mass as well as relative speed.

There have been many, many experiments done to prove time dilation and the effects of gravity and relative speed.
