'''Time''' is perceived as a continuum by some, and by others a constant, linear progression.  Still others consider time to be more of a fluid, with currents and eddies that change as events are altered or changed.  Regardless of one's definition, 'time' is almost always considered to be the 'fourth dimension' of space (the first three being physical location in space), signifying a change in location as time itself progresses. 
'''Time''' is the dimension through which [[space-time vessel|vessel]]s [[time travel|travelled]],

One of the constants in most of the 'lesser races' of the galaxy has been that time, once passed, cannot be re-explored or revisited.  This is not the case for the ancient race of [[Time Lords]], who discovered fairly early in their development how to travel back and forth through Time. 
 
[[Rassilon]], in conjunction with [[Omega]], discovered a way to pass back and forth through time by entering a structure known as the [[Time Vortex]], a sort of pipeline that came into contact with every possible moment in time.  The devices Rassilon invented to do this were known as TARDISes.
 
Though the advent of the TARDIS made time travel possible, it certainly did not make it easy or painless-- so much energy is required to make the journey that every TARDIS is powered by a black hole, known as the [[Eye of Harmony]].  If contact with this black hole is severed for any reason, a TARDIS can be considered 'dead'-- though it is possible to use emergency power to attempt another jump, doing so is risky at best.

The Time Vortex was the primary means of transit through time by the Time Lords.

This article needs a big cleanup.

It's unclear what's wrong with the article, because the editor who placed this tag here didn't enumerate the page's problems.
