Howling:No parallel time streams because of fixed events

here's my theory of how all the events in the whoniverse can fit onto one timeline without the use of parallel timestreams. if someone, eg the doctor, travels to the past, anything that would ultimalely affect what he does in the future becomes a fixed point in time eg: pompeii was a fixed event because if mt vesuvious hadn't errupted, it might have changed human history in a way that it would change the doctor's timeline which might mean that he couldn't come to pompeii and stop the volcano from errupting. that's the special time thing the doctor can detect, and he has to make sure he doesn't mess up his past. another example is in father's day. it was a fixed point because if rose had saved her father, she would have lived a very different life, more like how her parents lived in petes world, and wouldn't have met the doctor to come change that event. that's why the reapers came, to make sure time wasn't messed up in that way. so fixed points in time are just points that can't change without causing a big paradox.

basically, i started this thread because i think all the talk of parallel timestreams used to maintain events are just confusing and unnessicary. that's why there are fixed points in time. please tell me if there is any evidence that goes against my reasoning on the reason for fixed points in time.121.216.229.210 03:33, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
