Howling:What causes silence to fall?

exactly. what causes silence to fall? we know there are cracks in the universe, and several episodes claim silence will fall as well as Pandorica Openings and the cracks in time we know will be created. but there is no absoloute things that causes silence to fall, is there? you might say the TARDIS explosion causing cracks and the cracks cause silence and all that, but silence fell BEFORE the TARDIS blew up.

so, any theories?Ooiue 20:26, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

This is something I've been wondering myself. Only Prisoner Zero, Rosanna Calvierri, Rory and the Doctor have explicitly mentioned the silence. Rosanna said that she saw silence through some of the cracks. And the silence that overcame Venice was not simple lack of noise, it was an oppressive silence (that reminded me of old tom of unseen university. But boo to intertextuality) that cancelled out other noises. Seems strange - like it's a black hole, but for sound. This isn't a theory, is it. Sorry. Faeryty 20:31, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

it reminds me about the mystery of what was in the Pandorica. no clues. no hints. nothing. oh look, what was inside? nothing. but i suspect that mysteries voice has something to do with it....which i suppose is a pretty obvious theory--Ooiue 20:33, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

There were clues as to what was in the Pandorica. Granted, the big glaring one was only in the episode itself (and the trailor for it) - but I got it from "the trickster goblin soaked in the blood of the universe, the greatest warrior that has ever lived" (that quote about the blood of the universe is eerily familiar, does it ring a bell for anyone else?). So I hope we should be able to work out at least something about what is going on with the silence. Maybe. Faeryty 20:38, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

fair enough. but we shall have to wait and find out :/--Ooiue 20:39, June 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have a theory. The answer is Gravity! Big letters, S, I, L, E, N, C and E will fall from the sky. Silence will fall. :) 20:41, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * The universe is erased by the TARDIS exploding. That creates only silence left. V00D00M0NKY 21:31, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

its like i put on he first post of this. there isnt any evidence for what yhou said but seems to be the most accepted, the most plausable and currently the most likely theory so far. but i doubt an explosion of the TARDIS would do that. but thats just me--Ooiue 21:38, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I do find it hard to believe that it was simply just the TARDIS exploding but there was something that controlled and caused it to explode. Maybe the location of the explosion was significant to making the universe vanish. Maybe it exploded in a manner where it affected the time vortex. That could affect all of time and space.
