Is the flow of time regular? How would we come to know if the our galaxy along with everything in it stops for a while(may be a century) w.r.t to the galaxies far beyond our reach. Is there a way to know if flow of time is smooth,or irregular?
PS I would describe myself as an illiterate physics enthusiast, so I hope you'll forgive me if my ignorance is borderline offensive.

Note: This answer addresses the question in its original form:
Flow with respect to what? Regular with respect to what?
A century as measured by what? If the "whole universe stops", what would "a while" mean? "a while" according to what? What would "stops for a century" mean?
If you think carefully about the premises of your question, you'll find that you're imagining a 'meta clock' that doesn't stop when you stipulate that everything 'stops' (stops according to what?) and by which one can judge the 'flow' of ordinary time. Closely examine that premise.
