*This question has been sort-of asked before but I need a proper explanation. The TARDIS explodes in 2010 as has been well documented throughout the series, so why do the stars explode in 102 AD? Before anyone says 'Because it's timey-whimey, and the explosion happened everywhere at once,' this doesn't explain why id didn't happen, say when the Doctor went to see Vincent or at some other point in the series. The Doctor and the other protagonists are in another time from the explosion, which can be said of any episode. It make no sense! Can anyone explain it? | *This question has been sort-of asked before but I need a proper explanation.

::Because, and this is the part that a lot of people don't seem to understand, the universe that we see the Doctor having adventures in both prior to and after this episode ''is'' the rebooted universe. The universe in which all of the stars exploded was an alternate timeline created by the retroactive destruction of the universe caused by the TARDIS explosion; the universe in which the TARDIS is blown up by the Silence is the rebooted universe, as put back together by the Pandorica in the "no stars" timeline. It's a Stable Time Loop. The Doctor will always go to 102 AD and be put in the Pandorica by the Alliance who have traced the origin of the cracks to his TARDIS, leaving him unable to prevent the Silence from destroying his TARDIS and causing the end of everything, leading him to be the one who flies the Pandorica from the old universe into the exploding TARDIS so that the old universe is restored by the Pandorica's restoration field, and then in that universe, the Silence will blow up the TARDIS... well, you get the idea. This is proven by a number of instances; in "Flesh and Stone" we see a Doctor who just rebooted the universe talking to Amy during his "rewind." So the universe in that episode has already been "rebooted" and the Doctor is rewinding through it. The crack is there because it isn't a harbinger of the explosion as | ::Because, and this is the part that a lot of people don't seem to understand, the universe that we see the Doctor having adventures in both prior to and after this episode ''is'' the rebooted universe.

The crack is there because it isn't a harbinger of the explosion as it is commonly mistaken for; rather, the cracks are the leftover scar tissue of the explosion, present in the fabric of the rebooted universe until the Doctor allows himself to be erased by the crack in Amy's bedroom. | ||
