![]() The Tenth Doctor laboured in an effort to explain to humans how time was misunderstood and never strictly linear, that it was "a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey. ( TV: The Halloween Apocalypse, War of the Sontarans, Once, Upon Time) It was also very harmful to time travel devices such as TARDISes. Uncontrolled time was extremely difficult to navigate around, meaning a person could set a destination and end up in a completely different location. The Time Lords, however, tried to keep strict controls on "unauthorised" use of time travel by other species. ( TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang, The Empty Child) ![]() ( TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs) In the 51st century, humans established the Time Agency. These included the Daleks ( TV: The Chase) and humans. Other races eventually learned to travel through time. ( TV: Flesh and Stone, The Vampires of Venice)įurthermore, travel from any point to another was possible by passing through the Time Vortex, by using a vehicle such as a TARDIS or Dalek time machine ( TV: The Chase, et al.) or a device such as a vortex manipulator, ( TV: Utopia, The Sound of Drums, TV: Everything Changes, et al.) by creating a wormhole such as a time corridor ( TV: The Evil of the Daleks, etc.), or even through direct psychic teleportation. New connections between different points in space-time could be created: for instance by time windows created by warp drives ( TV: The Girl in the Fireplace) time storms created by Fenric ( TV: Dragonfire, Silver Nemesis, The Curse of Fenric) or the cracks in the skin of the universe, which suddenly appeared at various times and places in the universe after a temporal explosion. According to Swarm, it could be said that Time was at war with Space. The only way to stabilise time was to assign creatures called Mouri. During the Dark Times, two creatures known as the Ravagers, Swarm and Azure, found pleasure in its chaotic nature. ( AUDIO: The Hourglass Killers)Īllegedly, time was naturally chaotic and unreliable. ( TV: The Two Doctors)Īccording to the Sixth Doctor, time was granular, like the grains of sand in an hourglass. If a mishap in time travel punched a hole in that structure, the universe could die in a matter of centuries. ( TV: Attack of the Cybermen) Additionally, time had a holistic structure like a balloon. The structure of time had to be balanced or ordered in some way, a purpose of the Web of Time. ![]() ( TV: Four to Doomsday, The Deadly Assassin) ( TV: Cold Blood) Artron energy was also in some way connected with time, in a manner that was possibly too complicated for Time Lords to fully explain to humans. ( TV: Flesh and Stone) The Doctor suspected that the CyberKing walking over Victorian London and the Daleks invading Earth in Amy Pond's era had been similarly erased, ( TV: Flesh and Stone) and later saw Rory Williams absorbed by time energy. Such energy, leaking out of cracks in the structure of the universe, absorbed an army of Angels at the crash of the Byzantium, completely removing them from history. While the Weeping Angels were able to feed on the potential energy gained by displacing people into the past, ( TV: Blink) even they could not feed on raw time energy. ( TV: The Time Monster) Chronons, like other particles, could be detected and interacted with. Instead, at a lower level, time was quantized, like a force, which the Master (in the guise of "Professor Thascalos") described as made up of particles known as chronons. ![]() When Clara Oswald asked what time was made of, the Eleventh Doctor assured her that it wasn't of strawberries. 4 Parallel universes and alternate timelines.( PROSE: Human Nature, Love and War TV: The Vanquishers) ( TV: Once, Upon Time) There existed a sentient, cosmic embodiment of the force of Time, who had various avatars and with whom the Doctor had dealings across several incarnations, including as Time's Champion. Time was naturally chaotic and "wild" the Time Lords forcibly held it in place on the planet Time inside the Temple of Atropos by creatures known as the Mouri. Having passed through the Time Vortex so often, the Doctor, and those who travelled with him, developed a "special relationship" with time, making them more sensitive to its nuances. Space-time vessels, such as TARDISes, could travel along this dimension in the same way that ordinary space vessels could travel along the other dimensions. It could be seen as part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events happened in sequence. Time was a fundamental physical quality, measuring the duration of events and the intervals between them. You may wish to consult Time (disambiguation) for other, similarly-named pages.
