It's stated numerous times in Series 5 that once an object or person is absorbed into the Time Crack, it never existed at all. Retconned out of history entirely, so to speak (At least this appears to be the dominant theory). But what if you went back in time after someone was absorbed, to a place and time you know that person was, what would you see? Would there just be a patch of empty space where they used to be? After Rory was sucked into the Crack, what would you have seen if you'd gone back to the moment he took the Silurian's gunblast and saved the Doctor - would the bolt just hit air? This, to me, is where the scenario comes apart, as it's just too silly to contemplate. Other people I've asked about this say that after something's absorbed, there'd be a "hole" in time where they used to be, but how the heck does this actually work? I feel it's worth noting that throughout the show, the only time it's noticed that something is gone because of the Crack, is AFTER they've been absorbed, not before. I probably didn't word that very well, but I hope you get the idea. 82.2.136.93 16:30, August 4, 2011 (UTC)
