If there is room that's completely sealed and void of any life or outside elements, does time pass within that room?

Ask Schrodinger. But I would posit a yes. It still contains space time after all.
Now if it was near the event horizon of a black hole... I remember one physicist hypothesized that nothing ever crosses the event horzin but that time just gets broken down into smaller and smaller fractions until it is at a virtual standstill.

@canusernamebemyusername That's correct. From an outside perspective (hypothetically), the person going into a black hole just appears to freeze at the event horizon. I'm not sure what it would be like from their perspective.
@Muffin I have tried to look from that perspective outward but honestly have no clue what it would look like looking out.

The clock keeps moving no matter what.

Are you talking about Red Dwarf? I think they called it a stasis booth, didn't they?

@HairbrushDiva I'm not sure. Is that a movie?

@Muffin It was a TV series in the 1990s, it still has a big following. It's a sci-fi sitcom. Haven't you seen it?

@HairbrushDiva I've never seen it. I'll check it out, though.

Just because the room is empty time don’t stop.
