| :''For the [[Cardiff rift]], specifically, see separate article. For the unofficial video production, see [[Time Rift (film)]].'' | | :A Time Rift is a rip in different times. |
| | | Like if you have a Rift in London 1945 and you go threw it you could end up in London 2040 or even LA 2006. |
| Some areas of spacetime weaknesses known as a '''time rift''' (or '''temporal rift''') through which people or objects may pass from one location in spacetime to another.
| |
| | |
| ==Effects==
| |
| Individual people ([[DW]]: ''[[Image of the Fendahl]]'', ''[[The Unquiet Dead]]'') or even whole species, such as the [[Owse]] ([[PDA]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel]]'') may develop a degree of [[time sensitivity]] or other [[psychic power]]s.
| |
| | |
| On other occasions, the leakage from a Temporal Rift would cause things to either age or de-age, sometimes both at the same time. In other places, it would simply freeze time. ([[VD]]: ''[[...And Eternity in an Hour]]'')
| |
| | |
| Certain rifts could transport living or non living matter through space and time. ([[TW]]: ''[[Adrift]]'')
| |
| | |
| ==Interactions with technology==
| |
| Technology, such as the [[Torchwood Institute]]'s [[rift manipulator|device]] can to a limited degree control such rifts but inexactly. ([[WEB]]: [[Torchwood website]], [[TW]]: ''[[Captain Jack Harkness]]'', ''[[End of Days]]'')
| |
| | |
| [[The Doctor's TARDIS]] could use time rifts to power up. ([[DW]]: ''[[Boom Town]]'')
| |
| | |
| :''Possibly, the rifts leak out [[temporal energy]], which the TARDIS can absorb. Following the destruction of [[Gallifrey]], the TARDIS would have needed a new source of power with the [[Eye of Harmony]] presumably now gone.''
| |
| | |
| ==Known locations of temporal rifts==
| |
| *[[Earth]] possesses at least [[Cardiff rift|one major time rift]], located in [[Cardiff]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Unquiet Dead]]'', ''[[Boom Town]]'', [[TW]]: ''[[Everything Changes]]'' onwards).
| |
| | |
| *A region of space near the planet [[Kaesov]], homeworld of the Owse ([[PDA]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel]]'')
| |
| | |
| *The eruption of the [[Vesuvius]] in [[Early human_history#1st century B.C.|79 AD]] briefly resulted in a time rift, echoing back in time and thus giving some inhabitants of the city of [[Pompeii]] [[psychic|precognitive]] powers. This rift was created because of how powerful the eruption of Vesuvius was, but it was only open for a second and presumably never reopened. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Fires of Pompeii]]'')
| |
| | |
| *The [[Medusa Cascade]] once had a time rift, it was healed at some point by [[the Doctor]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]'', ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'')
| |
| | |
| *A mobile Temporal Rift travelled through the [[Mutter's Spiral|galaxy]], likely from an accident on [[Heracletus]]. ([[VD]]: ''[[Zeitgeist]]'') [[Third Doctor|The Doctor]] was eventually able to stop it on [[Alrakis]]. ([[VD]]: ''[[...And Eternity in an Hour]]'')
| |
| | |
| *A time rift was situated in the core of the planet Arkheon, giving it the unofficial nickname of "the Arkheon Threshold". During the 26th century, in the conflict between the Empires of Earth and the [[Dalek]]s. The Daleks planned to break through the rift, in order to gain access to the [[Time Vortex]], giving them mastery over time travel, as well as the upper hand in the conflict; going so far as to crack the planet into pieces, and establishig a base nar the core. The base was decommisned by Earth Command after its discovery, and the rift itself was sealed by [[Tenth Doctor | the Doctor]]. ([[NSA]]: ''[[Prisoner of the Daleks]]'')
