This page should be merged.

It should be relocated at The Uncle because Time and the Rani had the Doctor refer to his uncle, singular; then, once again, in The Eternity Clock, the Doctor mentions his uncle in a context making it clearthat he has only one. Occam's Razor suggests The Eternity Clock was referencing the same singular Uncle, not introducing a contradictory second uncle. Information has already been transferred to the other page.

The Doctor, according to their seventh incarnation, had an uncle. While his mind was within the time brain, the Doctor, in response to Albert Einstein's statement, "It is a fundamental postulate that all motion is relative," told him that Einstein would not say that if he had met his uncle.
