Time travel

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Time travel was, as the name suggested, the (usually controlled) process of travelling through time, even in a non-linear direction. In the 26th century individuals who time travelled were sometimes known as persons of meta-temporal displacement. (BNA: The Mary-Sue Extrusion)

Methods

Technological or Biotechnological Methods

By space-time vessel

  • The Third Zone scientists Kartz and Reimer built a primitive time machine modelled on Time Lord technology. It almost worked, but ultimately only made one successful trip before it was destroyed. (DW: The Two Doctors)
Travel using time vessel commonly involves the Time Vortex.

Other technological means

A warp drive accident fractured one unfortunate individual, Scaroth into "fragments" scattered through various eras of time and linked by telepathy (DW: City of Death). Another warp drive accident had the effect of propelling the vehicle in question roughly sixty-five million years back in time. (DW: Earthshock)
The column in the centre of a human-built rift manipulator looked like the central column a TARDIS, indicating, perhaps, a similar function.

By Psychic Power or Other Natural Ability

By Space-Time Anomaly

Mirrors

Taking "The Slow Path"

Some individuals, by necessity, sought to take what the Tenth Doctor once described as "the slow path," (DW: The Girl in the Fireplace) spending hundreds or thousands of years patiently waiting to return to a desired time. (NA: Birthright) A less arduous method would involve cryogenics or some other form of life suspension.
