<p style="margin-left: 40px">I agree with [[Special:Contributions/173.12.172.149|173.12.172.149]] that there's still explanation needed of this. By all accounts, events which predated the time-lock still happened. These include events in the past and the future (so there's no real reason to say that the time war happened in the present as we understand that concept).</p> | |||
<p style="margin-left: 40px">So one would expect that the Doctor could travel to the 1970s and met with the Master on Earth, or interrupt himself while he was in the middle of a conversation with Gallifrey. However not only would that mean interference with people who would eventually be part of the time war (though, as sometimes said, these points may be fixed) but it would contradict the idea of the Doctor being truly alone because he could just go back and talk to other Time Lords.</p> | |||
<p style="margin-left: 40px">Somehow, the Doctor must be being prevented from doing so. Maybe meeting other Time Lords who would be part of the time war, from his perspective, after the time war, would create a paradox and tear the universe apart. In effect, since all Time Lords who'd previously been in the universe would be in a 'higher dimensional sense of time', from the past of the Time Lords in the time war, the Doctor would be changing his own past.</p> | |||
<p style="margin-left: 40px">Unfortunately, everything we can say is only speculation and so we can only wait and hope that an explanation is eventually given. However, given the time war is no longer a major theme of the show, it's possible that we'll never be given an explanation (and that one doesn't exist, for example about the whole UNIT dating thing).
