An '''alternate timeline''', '''alternate time line''', or '''alternative timeline''' ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith (TV story)}}) was a reality that diverged from the "true" or "[[natural timeline]]" due to the actions of [[time travel]]lers or other [[time|temporal]] phenomena. They were different from [[parallel universe]]s in that they did not separate cleanly at the point of creation, resulting in the new [[timeline]] destroying the old one. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Imperial Moon (novel)|Imperial Moon]]'') The phenomenon may also have been described as an "interstitial spillage of [[time]]." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Project Lazarus (audio story)|Project: Lazarus]]'')

Alternate timelines could be visited accidentally by contact with a [[time track]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Space Museum]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Mutant Phase]]'') or other anomalies ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Colditz (audio story)|Colditz]]'') in the [[Time Vortex]]. Deliberate travel to these timelines was possible if the traveller possessed something, such as the [[sigil ring]], that allowed them to change [[time stream]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Goth Opera]]'')
Alternate timelines could be visited accidentally by jumping a [[time track]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Space Museum (TV story)|The Space Museum]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Mutant Phase (audio story)|The Mutant Phase]]'') or contacting other anomalies ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Colditz (audio story)|Colditz]]'') in the [[Time Vortex]]. Deliberate travel to these timelines was possible if the traveller possessed something, such as the [[sigil ring]], that allowed them to change [[time stream]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Goth Opera (novel)|Goth Opera]]'')


They may have diverged from points in history where there was [[Fixed points in time|temporal fluctuation]]. The power required to adjust the timeflow and overcome [[temporal inertia]] on such a scale couldn't fit on a single planet, but beings with enough power were capable of doing so, such as [[Sutekh]], the [[Guardians of Time]], [[Rassilon]], and the [[Chronovore]]s. Even [[the Doctor]] or [[the Master]] could have the know-how or inclination to create them. Because the universe only had a finite amount of mass and energy to exist as ''one'' universe, the creation of an alternate timeline adversely affected the real timeline, causing chaos throughout the universe; releasing enough energy could destroy the timeline and set history back on its correct course. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Blood Heat]]'')
According to the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]]'s ''[[A Sourcebook for Field Agents]]'', alternate timelines were the result of the flow of time being successfully altered, usually at a [[Temporal Nexus Point]], changing [[history]]. Such changes, as the [[Time Lord]]s understood it, produced an alternate timeline in which history followed a new path without affecting the old one. Unlike a [[stream]] of [[water]], a new [[flow]] was created when a [[timestream]] was diverted, completely separate from the old, which continued unchanged.


Though a timeline may be negated, memories of it could still be retained. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'', ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'')
[[Regular timeline]]s and alternate timelines were forever shut off one from the other. No known [[time travel device]] could lift an individual out of a newly-created alternate timeline back into one's own familiar history. Trying to go back and undo the change would simply create another alternate timeline. A notable example cited was the [[Genesis Incident|Time Lords' attempt]] to avert the [[creation of the Daleks]], which failed because the fluid nature of [[time]] placed one obstacle after another in the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s path; the [[Genesis timeline|alternate timeline]] thus created, the one in which the then present Time Lords resided, was not changed significantly. Most attempts to create alternate timelines ended this same way. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Sourcebook for Field Agents (novel)}})
 
They may have diverged from points in history when there was [[Fixed points in time|temporal fluctuation]]. The power required to adjust the timeflow and overcome [[temporal inertia]] on such a scale couldn't fit on a single planet, but beings with enough power were capable of doing so, such as [[Sutekh]], the [[Guardians of Time]], [[Rassilon]], and the [[Chronovore]]s. Even [[the Doctor]] or [[the Master]] could have the know-how or inclination to create them. Because the universe only had a finite amount of mass and energy to exist as ''one'' universe, the creation of an alternate timeline or [[sub-universe]] adversely affected the real timeline, causing chaos throughout the universe; releasing enough energy could destroy the timeline and set history back on its correct course. The energy released when a [[TARDIS]] [[time ram]]med another could produce this energy. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Blood Heat (novel)|Blood Heat]]'')
 
Though a timeline could be negated, [[history-proofing|memories of it could still be retained]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'', ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'') Sometimes these memories were subconscious and only surfaced in dreams. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Time of the Daleks (audio story)|The Time of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Jubilee (audio story)|Jubilee]]'') Multiple timelines could co-exist in one continuum; because of this, an individual with multiple futures could come in contact without any [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)|Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]'') Negated timelines could be accessed through use of [[paradox energy]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Paradox Moon (short story)|The Paradox Moon]]'') and were also known to exist in places outside the normal universe, such as [[the Axis]] and [[the Beyond]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Axis of Insanity (audio story)|The Axis of Insanity]]'', ''[[Beyond (audio story)|Beyond]]'')
 
Occasionally, time was actually changed so that what was originally the future became an alternate timeline. These were not meant to replace the true timeline but were the result of changes to the real timeline including, apparently, [[WOTAN]] conquering [[Earth]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time Travellers (novel)|The Time Travellers]]'') and [[the Doctor]] dying on [[Grace Alone]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The First Wave (audio story)|The First Wave]]'') and later [[Trenzalore]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'', ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'') This may have related to [[causality]], with knowledge coming before an event rather than an event becoming knowledge. The Doctor encountered WOTAN after it'd conquered Earth in [[1966]], changing history when he later arrived in 1966; the opposite would be the Doctor arriving in an [[1804]] where the [[French Revolution]] was still happening, as he already knew this was incorrect. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Man in the Velvet Mask (novel)|The Man in the Velvet Mask]]'')
 
Two [[Earth Reptile]] temporal scientists theorised that after changes were made to history, it took twenty minutes for the new timeline to become established. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crystal Bucephalus (novel)|The Crystal Bucephalus]]'')

From a metaphysical viewpoint, alternate timelines were always being extinguished as fewer and fewer choices became open. This is particularly affected by time travellers who changed the future whenever they arrived in a new time. This was the cosmic pain of the universe and in this manner [[Gabriel]] and [[Tanith]] were personifications of the timelines that never existed. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Falls the Shadow]]'')
From a metaphysical viewpoint, alternate timelines constantly winked in and out of existence with every decision made, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wrong Doctors (audio story)|The Wrong Doctors]]'') always being extinguished as fewer and fewer choices became open. This was particularly affected by time travellers who changed the future whenever they arrived in a new time. This was the cosmic pain of the universe and in this manner [[Gabriel and Tanith]] were personifications of the timelines that never existed. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Falls the Shadow (novel)|Falls the Shadow]]'')
 
The existence/creation of alternate timelines and parallel universes was held in check by the existence of the Time Vortex, which was sustained by the existence of the [[Time Lord]]s who created it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Domino Effect (novel)|The Domino Effect]]'')

The phrase "alternate/alternative timeline" was sometimes used interchangably with "[[parallel universe]]" however alternate timelines usually changed after a single moment in time, whereas parallel universes usually had more than one difference from the "normal" universe.
The phrase "alternate/alternative timeline/universe/reality" was sometimes used interchangeably with "[[parallel universe]]"; however, alternate timelines usually changed after a single moment in time, whereas parallel universes usually had more than one difference from the "normal" universe.

An alternate timeline, alternate time line, or alternative timeline (TV: The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith [+]Loading...["The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith (TV story)"]) was a reality that diverged from the "true" or "natural timeline" due to the actions of time travellers or other temporal phenomena. They were different from parallel universes in that they did not separate cleanly at the point of creation, resulting in the new timeline destroying the old one. (PROSE: Imperial Moon) The phenomenon may also have been described as an "interstitial spillage of time." (AUDIO: Project: Lazarus)

Physics[[edit] | [edit source]]

Alternate timelines could be visited accidentally by jumping a time track (TV: The Space Museum, AUDIO: The Mutant Phase) or contacting other anomalies (AUDIO: Colditz) in the Time Vortex. Deliberate travel to these timelines was possible if the traveller possessed something, such as the sigil ring, that allowed them to change time streams. (PROSE: Goth Opera)

According to the Celestial Intervention Agency's A Sourcebook for Field Agents, alternate timelines were the result of the flow of time being successfully altered, usually at a Temporal Nexus Point, changing history. Such changes, as the Time Lords understood it, produced an alternate timeline in which history followed a new path without affecting the old one. Unlike a stream of water, a new flow was created when a timestream was diverted, completely separate from the old, which continued unchanged.

Regular timelines and alternate timelines were forever shut off one from the other. No known time travel device could lift an individual out of a newly-created alternate timeline back into one's own familiar history. Trying to go back and undo the change would simply create another alternate timeline. A notable example cited was the Time Lords' attempt to avert the creation of the Daleks, which failed because the fluid nature of time placed one obstacle after another in the Fourth Doctor's path; the alternate timeline thus created, the one in which the then present Time Lords resided, was not changed significantly. Most attempts to create alternate timelines ended this same way. (PROSE: A Sourcebook for Field Agents [+]Loading...["A Sourcebook for Field Agents (novel)"])

They may have diverged from points in history when there was temporal fluctuation. The power required to adjust the timeflow and overcome temporal inertia on such a scale couldn't fit on a single planet, but beings with enough power were capable of doing so, such as Sutekh, the Guardians of Time, Rassilon, and the Chronovores. Even the Doctor or the Master could have the know-how or inclination to create them. Because the universe only had a finite amount of mass and energy to exist as one universe, the creation of an alternate timeline or sub-universe adversely affected the real timeline, causing chaos throughout the universe; releasing enough energy could destroy the timeline and set history back on its correct course. The energy released when a TARDIS time rammed another could produce this energy. (PROSE: Blood Heat)

Though a timeline could be negated, memories of it could still be retained. (TV: The Big Bang, The Impossible Astronaut) Sometimes these memories were subconscious and only surfaced in dreams. (AUDIO: The Time of the Daleks, Jubilee) Multiple timelines could co-exist in one continuum; because of this, an individual with multiple futures could come in contact without any Blinovitch Limitation Effects. (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox) Negated timelines could be accessed through use of paradox energy, (PROSE: The Paradox Moon) and were also known to exist in places outside the normal universe, such as the Axis and the Beyond. (AUDIO: The Axis of Insanity, Beyond)

Occasionally, time was actually changed so that what was originally the future became an alternate timeline. These were not meant to replace the true timeline but were the result of changes to the real timeline including, apparently, WOTAN conquering Earth (PROSE: The Time Travellers) and the Doctor dying on Grace Alone (AUDIO: The First Wave) and later Trenzalore. (TV: The Name of the Doctor, The Time of the Doctor) This may have related to causality, with knowledge coming before an event rather than an event becoming knowledge. The Doctor encountered WOTAN after it'd conquered Earth in 1966, changing history when he later arrived in 1966; the opposite would be the Doctor arriving in an 1804 where the French Revolution was still happening, as he already knew this was incorrect. (PROSE: The Man in the Velvet Mask)

Two Earth Reptile temporal scientists theorised that after changes were made to history, it took twenty minutes for the new timeline to become established. (PROSE: The Crystal Bucephalus)

Metaphysics[[edit] | [edit source]]

From a metaphysical viewpoint, alternate timelines constantly winked in and out of existence with every decision made, (AUDIO: The Wrong Doctors) always being extinguished as fewer and fewer choices became open. This was particularly affected by time travellers who changed the future whenever they arrived in a new time. This was the cosmic pain of the universe and in this manner Gabriel and Tanith were personifications of the timelines that never existed. (PROSE: Falls the Shadow)

The existence/creation of alternate timelines and parallel universes was held in check by the existence of the Time Vortex, which was sustained by the existence of the Time Lords who created it. (PROSE: The Domino Effect)

Terminology[[edit] | [edit source]]

The phrase "alternate/alternative timeline/universe/reality" was sometimes used interchangeably with "parallel universe"; however, alternate timelines usually changed after a single moment in time, whereas parallel universes usually had more than one difference from the "normal" universe.
