Howling:Time AM/PM

One thing that i think should be noticed, in TPO, when the doctor and Amy arrive to acient Rome. The moment the get out of the Tardis, the doctor says that it's 1:02 AM, clicks his watch and then says "sorry, 1:02 PM". This rings the bell to what we see in TEH and FaS when the time goes from 11:59 PM to 12:00 AM which doesnt make any sense. And i dont think it's a production error since it happened twice not once (in 2 episodes). What could possibly be causing such a thing? 91.73.110.106 14:13, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Something along the lines of : Half a day has gone; totally gone - there is a half day gap in the universe somehow pushing things out of sync causing some mental confusion. A discontinuity that can't be rationally explained. Jack Chilli 14:23, June 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Been putting off mentioning this but erm... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock ...noon is 12pm. The next minute on a normal clock after 11:59am, is 12pm. Agonaga 15:30, June 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * The main point is that the date on the two clocks changes from June 25 to June 26, which doesn't generally happen at noon. 115.69.5.221 16:14, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * "time goes from 11:59 PM to 12:00 AM which doesnt make any sense." Right, but 12am is midnight, which is the next day, so this makes perfect sense. Either that or I'm missing something.
 * If time goes Jun 25 @ 11:59pm → Jun 26 @ 12:00am, that's normal. Your clock and my clock do this at the first second of every day.
 * If time goes from Jun 26 @ 11:59am → 12:00pm, that's noon.
 * Is there some clock-tick that breaks that pattern, such as hitting noon but suddenly being the next day, or hitting midnight but the day not advancing? Agonaga 16:31, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * This issue is listed Here. The issue is a change in date at 12 noon, and another issue with 12 noon not being in the middle of the night. Not the clock turning from am to pm :P Alienatedduck 16:46, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ahh right, I'd forgotten that part. Hmm, and the eclipse on that date isn't visible from the UK. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2010_lunar_eclipse ... alrighty, I sit corrected :) Agonaga 16:53, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Noon on a planet where the Sun has disappeared would be pitch black... 92.41.25.217 23:57, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the more important issue is not that it's 12 PM and it's dark. It might be the eclipse of anything blocking the sun. However, how did it turn from 25/6 to 26/6 in the middle of the day??? it should be the same date.. 91.73.110.6 14:48, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yip. Some time is missing but who took it, how and why? Then again all time is missing now .... Maybody somebody put it away safely so they could use it later.
 * Sign posts... Something is wrong one way or another because no clock goes from AM to PM with a date change. The date does not change at noon which is what the AM/PM part of the clock suggested in Amy's room. V00D00M0NKY 06:50, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Space and time are actually considered one thing, "spacetime," in current physics. If the universe is cracked, the missing time appearing in this season could have fallen between the cracks. Agonaga 18:41, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

I had a flash of inspiration. That morning must have been when the Big Empty House was ransacked by the alliance, given that Amy and the Doctor were there the night before (and went back to that night) and River finds the marks on the ground on the 26th (did we find out what time she landed?). Maybe the Alliance people (or someone else?) Time locked that morning, so that no one could get in out or to find them there? It's not an awful theory, is it? Faeryty 21:00, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
