The Time Window was a triangular device of Quintesson design that opened a window into time... what did you think it'd do? Extended use of the machine is very dangerous, as it unleashes chronal energy into the universe, which affects time itself. It can cause the past and the present to collide with each other, creating numerous temporal anomalies, such as regressing an adult into an infant or making two duplicates of the same individual. If the process is not reversed, then the entire universe will cease to exist. Temporal mechanics 101.

- Time windows could be created by pushing energy into a warp drive, as was done on the SS Madame de Pompadour. (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace) One type resembled a portal linking two time periods, which had the appearance of shattered glass. The only person known to control these time windows was the mysterious Shopkeeper, who could send other people through them by clicking his fingers several times and pushing the windows towards them. Unlike the time windows created by the SS Madame de Pompadour, these versions could prove dangerous if left open, eventually causing the entire Earth to be sucked into the Time Vortex. (TV: Lost in Time)
- They appear as angled-off oval shapes framed in blue-white energy and permit sound to transmit at least from the up-timestream side of the window to the past; whether the down-timestream sounds may be heard on the other side is unknown. There are implications that physical interaction between those viewing and those being viewed are possible. Who created the device or craft which generates these windows is unknown, but per the [ observations] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] of Captain Bangladesh DuPree, the technology will be in the hands of Agatha Heterodyne at some point in the future.
- The Time Window is a temporal device that appears in the 2006 film, Déjà Vu. The time window was created by pure accident. A complete fluke. Scientists at Cambridge University were working for the National Reconnaissance Office on an R&D grant. They were attempting to use concentrated bursts of energy to enhance the sensitivity of optical telescopes. In the process they had a breakthrough. Given enough energy they could warp the very fabric of space. They found a way to fold space back unto itself.

- The Time Window is a temporal device that appears in the 2006 film, Déjà Vu. The time window was created by pure accident. A complete fluke. Scientists at Cambridge University were working for the National Reconnaissance Office on an R&D grant. They were attempting to use concentrated bursts of energy to enhance the sensitivity of optical telescopes. In the process they had a breakthrough. Given enough energy they could warp the very fabric of space. They found a way to fold space back unto itself. We view space as flat wherein we see something from a distance light always has to travel the long way across the flat space in between. But the Time Window can fold the space, bring the target closer to the viewers, create what's known as an Einstein-Rosen bridge (otherwise known as a wormhole) suspended via gravitational field. Basically folding space in a higher dimension to create an instantaneous link between to distant points. Huge amounts of energy is used to create the bridge. The bridge is not visible to the human eye, but it's just as real and solid as a cellphone signal or a radio wave. The viewers can look back can four and a half days within a limited radius. They can look back in the past. (In a sense we're always looking in the past. Even light reflected from yourself in a mirror takes some time to get back.) Light can go back. But a person cannot go back because they would transit across what's known as the "wheeler boundary." An EM pulse annihilates all electrical activity, such as the heartbeat and brain waves. The field would even scramble a radio signal.
