::It is seen throughout the whole series that while the cracks 'undo the existence' of whatever they come into contact with, their lives and actions are all still present. The memory of them vanishes, but the universe seems to 'make up' for it. This entire "if this got erased from existence then that wouldn't happen" point is mute, as it is only their existence that is erased, not the effects of their previous existence. | ::It is seen throughout the whole series that while the cracks 'undo the existence' of whatever they come into contact with, their lives and actions are all still present.

* Okay, so Amy is capable of remembering things that had been erased at least on a subconscious level due to her long-term childhood exposure to a crack. I get that. But how can Amelia in the collapsed universe consciously remember stars? They were erased from existence just like, I don't know, the Daleks from The Stolen Earth, and "our" Amy couldn't remember them; in fact, that was a major red flag for the Doctor. So what's different about the collapsed-reality Amelia that enables her to remember the then-erased stars? Why is her memory not susceptible to erasure like "our" Amy's is, despite the two of them having essentially the same upbringing and childhood environment? | * Okay, so Amy is capable of remembering things that had been erased, at least on a subconscious level, due to her long-term childhood exposure to a crack.
