She hears the [[voice]] of [[Fifth Doctor|the Doctor]] in her mind, [[apology|apologising]] for the theatrics and asking if she believes in [[ghost]]s. | ||
The Doctor answers a [[distress call]] and pilots [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] to the catacombs in the [[17th century]] instead of aiming for [[Heathrow Airport|Heathrow]]. The travellers split up and [[Nyssa]] senses something which attacks [[Adric]] and pushes into her mind to make her feel afraid and hungry. After leaving a room with markings written in [[chicken]] [[blood]] and [[bone]]s drained of [[energy]], the Doctor and [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] find Adric and Nyssa shivering on the floor and get them back to the TARDIS, but the ship is dead and the Doctor instead uses an [[emergency temporal shift]] to send his [[companion]]s to safety. Tegan, however, chooses to stay and help. | The Doctor answers a [[distress call]] and pilots [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] to the catacombs in the [[17th century]] instead of aiming for [[Heathrow Airport|Heathrow]].

Leanne goes to the Doctor's [[tomb]] in the catacombs and starts breaking into it using a [[fire extinguisher]], but the Doctor stops her so as to prevent the question of whether he is alive or dead from being answered. She runs when the Brotherhood appear and the Doctor informs her that they are [[wraith]]s, come to use her as a psychic anchor for Sabaoth due to her having worn a groove in [[reality]] with her tours of places connected to him. | Leanne goes to the Doctor's [[tomb]] in the catacombs and starts breaking into it using a [[fire extinguisher]], but the Doctor stops her so as to prevent the question of whether he is alive or dead from being answered.

Tegan goes looking for a [[pickaxe]] in a TARDIS storeroom and is locked inside by the alien, who is able to speak using the ship and tells her that he wants to be reborn and devour the world. He sends her spirit ahead in time to the [[1980s]] using her own energy and the [[telepathic circuits]] to serve as his anchor and she tries to warn people, but returns to her body unaware of how successful she was before apparently dying in the Doctor's arms. He puts her body into a [[stasis chamber]] and fights to stay awake. | Tegan goes looking for a [[pickaxe]] in a TARDIS storeroom and is locked inside by the alien, who is able to speak using the ship and tells her that he wants to be reborn and devour the world.

* Although the concept of the [[Heisenberg's uncertainty principle]] is used here, a proper distinction needs to be made between its depiction in the real world and its depiction in the story. In the real world, the principle typically refers to non-relativistic [[Quantum physics|Quantum Mechanics]], in which time is usually treated as merely a type of parameter rather than an observable. It also has a somewhat analogous uncertainty relation, usually dubbed the "Time-energy uncertainty relation".<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle#Examples</ref><ref>https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qt-uncertainty/</ref> Note that this uncertainty relation is different to the one Heisenberg formulated, although they are related. This is different yet again in Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory. In the context of the story, it is only used as an analogy to explain why the TARDIS over-shoots its destinations a lot. It should not be taken literally. | * Although the concept of the [[Heisenberg's uncertainty principle]] is used here, a proper distinction needs to be made between its depiction in the real world and its depiction in the story.

* The Doctor explains that certain events in time can become [[fixed points in time]] if they are observed, however, if they are not observed they can potentially be changed. The Doctor wasn't sure whether he was dead or alive while inside Leanne's head and so claimed that they couldn't see his body to check whether he was dead or alive, lest he really be dead and they create a fixed point in time. He refers to the situation as a "Schrodinger's ghost", a reference to the famous Quantum Mechanics thought experiment [[Schrödinger's cat|Schrodinger's cat]]. | * The Doctor explains that certain events in time can become [[fixed points in time]] if they are observed, however, if they are not observed they can potentially be changed.
