Far future

"Far future" is a title based upon conjecture.

Check the behind the scenes section, the revision history and discussion page for additional comments on this article's title.

The far future was an undefined era of history, judged "far" into the future from the eras of Human history that the Doctor tended to frequent. It arbitrarily extended from after the end of the 100th century to the end of the Universe.

There is no basis in the Doctor Who universe for the phrase "far future". Nothing is absolutely the "far" future to the Doctor — a character who can just as easily travel to 2024 as to the year 5000000000 — though he could have used the phrase to describe a point that was relatively far away from his current position. Rather, it is a statement of convenience asserted by the editors of this wiki.
