Howling:Hiding 1 second out of sync
In The End of Time, The Doctor hid the TARDIS one second out of sync with the rest of the universe, so it couldn't be found.
The Daleks did the same thing to the Medusa Cascade and all of the stolen planets in The Stolen Earth.
Has this idea ever been mentioned before?
Or is it one of those simple tricks that's easy to do once you get the idea but no one would ever think of the idea except maybe Dalek Caan--so it'll work on The Master, whichever aliens happen to be around that he hasn't identified yet, and probably even the Time Lord Council, but not on the Shadow Proclamation (who know about the trick)? --99.157.75.211 06:39, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
I personally thnik the TARDIS is "evolving", or he is upgarding it as of late. Hency, why in the future, its doors close by the click of his fingers. Delton Menace 10:45, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
- Yep the concept has appeared before. In NA: The Also People the Doctor places the TARDIS out of sync to keep God from getting at it. --Tangerineduel 13:23, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
I think the sontarans used this system to hide the gas inside ATMOS systems(oh wait i can't say atmos system thats a tautology).I dont really understand how this out of synch thing works,is the object constantly traveling forward in time so you never exist in the same second as it? could someone please explain it to me?--666hotline 15:57, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
The second out of synch idea is what we call Doctor Who science- we don't know how exactly it works only that it does. but, if I had to guess, I'd say that it's bent space-time around it to hid it away in a little pocket of time, if that makes sense. Excalibur-117 16:09, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
It means that its one second in front of everything else. Or behind.
Possibly, but while thats the most obvious explanantion, all you would have to do is travel forward/back in time one second ahead relative to the TARDIS/the Doctor, and bam,theres the TARDIS. Excalibur-117 18:53, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
