Howling:Angels erased

Flesh And Stone If the Weeping Angels were wiped from history (having never existed), why were the soldiers that they killed, not restored at the end?81.148.24.162 12:33, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

A good question! I have no idea. TemporalSpleen 15:31, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

well there was no angel on the ship in the first place, so no reason for the clerics to have ever been there, they are probably alive, but at home.

Time travelers are un-effected, the ship was a fixed point causal paradox that both happened and 'un-happened': if the Angels fell into the crack and ceased to exist, the Byzantium would never have crashed, therefore the Angels wouldn't have fallen into the crack and ceased to exist, therefore the Byzantium crashed, therefore the Angels fell into the crack and ceased to exist, therefore...ad infinitum. The chain of events is self-sustaining and locked in place while the rest of the universe moves on as before. 92.3.192.152 15:34, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

The odd thing about the cracks that we see up to this point is that they only seem to erase but we don't know if they fix/adjust...When something gets erased, it is never shown whether history really accomodate by fixing up everything associated with the event erased, instead, it seems more or less like a mass amnesia...Rory and Amy's wedding ring is still around...Rory's photo is still around...They still go on the same adventure...the Byzantium still crashed...While it's not clear, what has happened right now is more less a part of history just getting torn out when it's erased and the timeline is left with the gap...everyone doesn't remember, no one questions, the event never existed, but instead of a coherent timeline where the event gets replaced or other events changing to accomodate, there's just a gap there and the rest of timeline is remained most intact except memories of the event203.168.176.42 10:53, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

I refer you to the psudo-science quantum mechanical explanations given in the questions about why the Byzantium is still crashed. In short the entirity of reality has colapsed and been reformed by the conciousness of living beings. Jack Chilli
