While waiting for [[Clara Oswald]] to finish her day of work at [[Coal Hill School]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') the [[Eleventh Doctor]] read a book on ''[[Advanced Quantum Mechanics]]'', ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') which bored him after he failed to [[Where's Wally?|find Wally]] anywhere and had to resort to reading the text.

The 2019 ''[[Companion Chronicles]]'' audio story ''[[Daybreak (audio story)|Daybreak]]'' establishes that [[fixed points in time]] are only created "once a [[waveform]] has collapsed". This is a clear allusion to {{w|wave function collapse}}, a concept in quantum mechanics. This is when a [[wave function]] in a {{w|superposition}} (ie. with multiple possible quantum states) is "observed" (measured), and thus collapses into only one possibility. | |||
