The time differential describes a state of being between multiple points in a single timeline coming into contact with one another. When a human or object met itself from a different point on its own timeline, the Blinovitch Limitation Effect meant physical contact between the two versions would short out the time differential between them. This could result in dangerous effects such as a large energy discharge or damage to time itself. (TV: Mawdryn Undead, Father's Day, The Big Bang)

  • The time differential describes a state of being between multiple points in a single timeline coming into contact with one another. When a human or object met itself from a different point on its own timeline, the Blinovitch Limitation Effect meant physical contact between the two versions would short out the time differential between them. This could result in dangerous effects such as a large energy discharge or damage to time itself. (TV: Mawdryn Undead, Father's Day, The Big Bang) The time differential energy released by a time paradox was referred to as "Blinovitch energy" and could power a TARDIS. Tegan also referred to being "Blinovitched" in relation to being caught in the paradox. (AUDIO: Prisoners of Fate) Multiple incarnations of the same Time Lord encountering one another did not experience dangerous effects from shorting out the time differential between themselves. (TV: The Three Doctors) The earlier incarnation or incarnations would appear of a greater physical age than they should have at that point in their timeline. This otherwise harmless effect would disappear once the incarnations parted ways and the time differential was no longer shorted out. (TV: Time Crash) Time itself became stuck and began dying when River Song altered a fixed point in time by refusing to kill the Eleventh Doctor (in actuality the Teselecta). Every moment in Earth's timeline came into contact with each other as a result. The only way to repair the damage to time was for River and the Teselecta-Doctor to physically touch. Because their timelines were the polar opposite points of the distortion, their contact shorted out Earth's own time differential. This returned them to the fixed point, restore the required event, and repaired the damage to time. (TV: The Wedding of River Song) When Mark Whitaker met a younger version of his wife, she touched him, shorting out the time differential. This restored his youth. This was unusual, as one person shorted out another's time differential. (PROSE: Touched by an Angel)
