Time is a word that is scientifically used to measure the progress of a particular part of the universe.

The only way it can be measured is by relativity to other things. For example a digital clock counts how many vibrations a piece of quartz will vibrate when stimulated through electricity, and every 20,000 vibrations or so is considered a second.

Okay, thought about this today.
So time is measured in radioactive decay, lets say 100 units = 1 second.
So we travel faster, and decay becomes slower, and it takes 1.001 of the previous notion of "second" for 100 units to decay.
Same works for gravity.
Now we travel at the speed of light, so our mass becomes infinite, so gravity's effect becomes infinite so times decay is infinitely slowed (aka stopped).
So if we travel at the speed of light time stops, but time can't stop at only one point in the universe so it has to stop everywhere and with nothing to restart it the universe ends.

Everything made sense except for the last part.

As Einstein said, time flows like a river. If you could travel around the earth 7 times a second for 150 years, then 150 years would have passed but you would only be a week older.

I don't know what you mean by time can't stop at only one point in the universe. We've flown super accurate clocks in airplanes and then compared them to ones on the ground, and the ones in airplanes are slower. Also, the GPS system wouldn't be able to be so accurate if we didn't precisely calculate the amount that time slows down for the satellites which are moving at much higher speed.

RAAAA MY HEAD HURTS.
But okay, I guess I was wrong in that part.
Time is fucked up...
