[Futurama] How did Leela and Fry move at all while time was frozen?

I mean they were able to walk on an ocean which means the molecules aren't moving. So how come their walking around and breathing like air is moving? things they touch don't unfreeze leela was able to spin a ball midair without it falling and she blew a snowflake forward.

They created a 'localized' field around them which enabled them to interact with objects such as air, water and such.

Strong enough to effect small things, not strong enough to work on people and organics.

Also, two points.

1. Spoilers alert!!
2. May as well be magic, didn't Arthur C Clarke say that any advanced technology would look like magic to this who didn't understand it.

So in regards to #2, the tech the professor invents allows a temporally 'stuck' person to engage with the world immediately surrounding them but not the larger world.
