:: Amy is an anomaly, or a complex space-time event. | :: Amy is an anomaly, or a complex space-time event. | ||
::: No she's not, her parents were not erased from all history, they were simply taken from a moment after she was born, and she forgot them. Which means there is no paradox in her existing. | |||
* Also if there were no stars, how is Amy even born. No stars would change history in so many ways. If there were nothing beyond the earth but darkness, then religion would dominate science. Indeed several religions where stars are significant would not exist and Amy would never ever be born. You can't say the TARDIS would hold this event in time, because nothing in the show says that. And its bad, "not thought out" writing if everyone else has to make up stuff that isn't there to make sense of the plot. Also why would it hold certain things like Amy being born but not others like what you see in the museum. | * Also if there were no stars, how is Amy even born.

:: 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 moot, 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.

::: He must've meant that not literally, more like what you've done stays the same, but absolutely noone remembers it was you who did it, so it's like you haven't done anything at all. Nothing gets unwritten, simply forgotten, and the other people's memories change. | |||
* 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.
