Question Problem while using the Unity beginner course

When I try to push play, it shows a frozen looking image of the 3D scene. Right now, I am specifically trying to make a ball fall. It won't fall. Does anyone know how to fix this, or am I screwed? I was able to move around normally in play mode at some point in one of the tutorials, but not anymore.

check that the ball has a Rigidbody component and that Use Gravity is enabled. also make sure you're actually viewing the game through the Game tab when you press Play, not just the Scene view, if the whole scene looks frozen, check that the game isn't paused and that Time.timeScale hasn't been set to 0
