- For the entity of the same name, see Time (Eternal).
Time was the continuum/dimension in which one moment progresses to another and through which space-time vessels traveled. The Web of Time governed order within this realm.
Explanations of time
Time was one of the five dimensions described by Susan Foreman and from which she derived the name TARDIS, which she came up with herself. (DW: An Unearthly Child) While Susan described time as a dimension, the Master (in the guise of "Professor Thascales") described time as made up of particles, known as chronons. (DW: The Time Monster) The Doctor later laboured in an effort to explain how time is misunderstood and never strictly linear, that it is made up of "wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff." (DW: Blink)
A certain moment in time could be fixed, where something must happen, such as the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius at Pompeii. (BFA: The Fires of Vulcan, DW: The Fires of Pompeii)
It could also be in flux, allowing minor changes to history. Time isn't in a straight line but is more of a four-dimensional 'circle', and the location where TARDISes travel is the unexplained Time Vortex, which is also used to travel through space as well as time.[source needed]
