Fifth dimension
The fifth dimension, also called fifth-dimensional space, was another realm where there was no past or future but only the present, where one existed everywhere. Fifth-dimensional beings existed across all of time, and other beings that entered the fifth dimension would shortly die of dehydration.

When the Doctor's TARDIS collided with an Acari ship, it split the fifth dimension in two, causing chaos and allowing Emily Winter to meet the Tef'Aree. Before she could return the TARDIS was destroyed in an event level chronal distortion, and the huon radiation was too strong to transport her to another planet. The Tef'Aree returned her to the TARDIS a few seconds before it was destroyed, enabling her to prevent it. (COMIC: Tesseract [+]Loading...["Tesseract (comic story)"])
