This is sort've what Einstein was getting at with his general and special theories of relativity. Movement in the space-time continuum is always done at the speed of light. This may seem like an arbitrary way of looking at the situation, but by theorists it has been somewhat proven that the addition of the 4 dimensions that we move through will produce the sum of the speed of light. So, the more massive an object is, the more of it's energy is expended in the three spatial dimensions (It's gravitational energy), thus the slower it moves through time. This can be observed as you approach the event horizion of a black hole. The closer you get to the event horizion, the stronger the gravitation field you encounter, and the more slowly you move through time (Though technically the person within the gravitational field could say he's moving at a normal rate, and the person outside of the field is moving faster then they are, for simplicity's sake we shall assume that they think that they are moving slowly as a result of the gravitational field). This is because more of your energy is being expended on the spatial dimensions, so less is avaliable to move through time...quantem mechanics in a way is movement and how movemnt and reality..
The reason that this matters is because massless objects like photons can travel through time and not need to expend any other energy in the spatial dimensions, because it has no mass to be effected by these dimensions. This means that a photon doesn't age, so a photon that you encounter today might be as old as the universe is.
This is exactly what happens. As someone has previously mentioned, this is called a force, and the application of a force on an object can cause it to speed up, slow down, stop or start, depending on the magnitude and direction of the force applied. This is the basis for most Newtonian physics applications. Again, this is non-quantum physics...but is it posible that the energy of movement or the velocity if you wish could be altered by another..
I think you need to read more about the application of quantum physics. It seems that you have the ideas of quantum and classical physics mixed up. In the future there may come a time when the perfect union of quantum and classical physics is accomplished (The T.o.E., as it were), but until that time they for the most part are thought of as separate entities.
I hope this helps.
