San Dimas Time	comment	San Dimas Time is a device that allows a writer to add some against-the-clock tension in a Time Travel story â€” in spite of how little sense that makes when you have time travel at your disposal. In stories involving time travel, sometimes characters are faced with a time-sensitive problem that can only be fixed by traveling into the past. For example, something bad is going to happen in ten days, so the heroes travel 20 years into the past to prevent it. Except now that they're in the past, from their perspective the event they are trying to prevent is not days but decades into the future. They should have ten days plus 20 years to prevent it, right? Not so when San Dimas Time is in effect. Events in two different time periods affect each other a fixed time period apart, with one anchor point being the moment the time traveler left the future, and the other being the moment they arrive in the past. For example, if you go back in time a year and change something, the change will only take effect a year after it takes place, and vice versa. This means that if you urgently need to fix something in the present and travel 20 years into the past to accomplish it, you do not actually have an extra 20 years before your time runs out. You only have as much time as you would have had from the moment you time-traveled into the past in the first place. How or why time travel works this way is rarely answered, at least satisfactorily. If it is addressed, it's often blamed on the Timey-Wimey Ball, the need to avoid Temporal Paradoxes, or just preventing the obvious questions when you complete your journey, arrive at the same time you've left, but appear to have aged several years. It's also useful when you're communicating live with someone in a different time period (like some sort of inter-temporal telephone), to ensure no bizarre relativistic effects. However from a simply Doylist point of view, giving yourself more time via time travel would be a violation of the Rule of Drama; the plot needs some tension to keep the plot interesting. San Dimas Time is related to but distinct from a Portal to the Past, where the time travel mechanism itself is restrained in what you can do â€” you can only travel through time by specific increments, or you only have a limited period before the time travel stops working. Meanwhile, in the Futureâ€¦ and Flashback B-Plot are narrative versions of this; the two eras do not actually affect each other, but we're seeing time pass within them at the same rate. See also Fantastic Time Management and Tricked Out Time, which are ways to solve this problem. Contrast Take Your Time, where you have all the time you need even though there should be time pressure. Also contrast Narnia Time, when two separate timelines have no correlation.

San Dimas Time / int_104b5e68	comment	The whole of the Pendragon series, by D. J. MacHale, runs on San Dimas Time. The Travelers ostensibly arrive exactly when necessary to stop the evil plot, but half of the territories are separated solely by a time difference, and that the villain doesn't have to follow any of the same rules. It takes some time for the Travelers wise up and realize that Saint Daine can undo any repair of a critical point, simply by going back to it.

San Dimas Time / int_13a8a9fe	comment	Averted in Scott Meyer's An Unwelcome Quest. Early in the novel, Todd kidnaps five of the wizards and drops Jeff off a cliff to his death. None of the wizards are too concerned, since they believe that they can just travel through time and come back to that point later. Todd points out two flaws in that analysis: (a) he made sure to watch Jeff hit the bottom of the cliff, ensuring that no one did/will save him, and (b) he's not planning to let the rest of them leave alive either. In order to engineer a Stable Time Loop, they have to save Jeff by making Todd think he succeeded, and they only have one attempt at it. In the next novel, it's revealed the Phillip has linked a door in his home (located in 12th century England) to a door in Brit the Younger's home (located in Atlantis in the ancient times). This basically links the time passage in those two time periods, even though usually this trope is subverted. Also subverted when going to each time traveler's present. It's always a split second after they departed, no matter how long they spent in the past.

San Dimas Time / int_1beda93b	comment	Sluggy Freelance Almost justified when, at the end of The Storm Breaker Saga, it's revealed the time travelling in this and previous stories has worked as follows: First, the demon K'Z'K is blast into the past accidentally, taking with him Gwynn's soul, leaving Gwynn's body in a coma in the present. He "cuts a noticeable trail" through time and space. Next, Riff's malfunctioning time machine sends ZoÃ« and Torg into the past along that same trail (though it seems they actually arrive somewhat after K'Z'K, which would probably be a blatant example of this trope). They fight and temporarily destroy K'Z'K in that time, whereupon Gwynn's soul returns through time to her body to the present. In the present, Riff and Dr. Schlock have been trying to figure out a way to go after Torg and ZoÃ« for some time, not knowing what time they went to. When Gwynn regains consciousness, she is able to report seeing them, and Riff travels along the trail her soul left, thus explaining why he only arrives in the time after Torg and ZoÃ« have defeated K'Z'K. The question that remains unanswered, besides of why Torg and ZoÃ« don't appear in exactly the same time as K'Z'K, is: why didn't Gwynn's soul return to the time when it left her? A similar but simpler and entirely justified case is in "Mohkadun" when Gwynn's soul is swapped with that of Siphaniana of the ancient kingdom of Mohkadun. Both spend an extended period of time swapped in their own times, but it's because the times they switch back are determined from both ends by magic rituals and the like.

San Dimas Time / int_2a842e3a	comment	Doctor Who Expanded Universe: The Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Emotional Chemistry maintains a continuous narrative crossing between three time periods, with four separate means of time travel, and only one point at which one of the characters is "out of sync" with the others. In the Doctor Who Missing Adventures novel Goth Opera, the villainess, a Time Lady, muses on how if she wanted to face the Doctor, the rules of meeting other Time Lords (see below) dictate that she would likely be facing the (then-current) Seventh Doctor, and she cycles through all of the Doctor's regenerations looking for an easier matchup, even though this breaks the established rules. (She settles on the Fifth Doctor, who's still too much for her.) Other spin-offs have featured the Doctor having out-of-sequence encounters with other Time Lords, meeting past or future versions of his foes, but this is often justified due to his enemies deliberately defying the rules or them dealing with pan-dimensional entities that break those rules by their very nature. The only occasion where the Doctor breaks these rules himself is the novel Legacy of the Daleks, when the Eighth Doctor receives a telepathic distress call from Susan and his attempt to travel back to a point before Susan sent the cry results in him meeting a version of the Master who more often faced the Third Doctor.

Unfortunately, he doesn't think to give himself any more than just ten minutes, and the DeLorean's engine is not obliging after traversing back to 1985, so he still doesn't make it in time to save Doc. Fortunately, Doc decided to bend the laws of history and read Marty's letter from 1955 anyway.

San Dimas Time / int_2fce14ae	comment	Wearing the Cape: In later books, this is revealed to be the Teatime Anarchist's weakness. He can travel to any potential future, but any time he spends traveling means equal time will advance in the present, which will become the unchangeable past. This is why he couldn't jump forward whenever a disaster started, spend a week figuring out the best way to stop it, and jump back to a second after it started and stop it before it got out of control. To this end, in the present he created the Ouroboros Project, a top-secret thinktank of seers, fortune tellers, and professional predictors. They collected and collated all information on the past and present as part of their jobs, so he just had to jump to the future, download their findings, and jump back to peruse at his leisure. In return, he gives them access to much of what he brings back, further refining their calculations.

This also explains why some times the Megazord is unavailable due to repair, despite the fact that, by all reasons, Time Force should be able to take whatever time they need to repair the Zords before sending them back in time to when they are needed.

San Dimas Time / int_49c37a09	comment	Zig-zagged in Millennia: Altered Destinies. You have a database of the Echelon Galaxy in your ship. The ship itself (and you) are shielded, but the database is not, which is by design, so it can act as your Ripple Effect Indicator, after you've changed something in the past. Usually, the database is updated seconds after you've done something. On the other hand, your Evil Counterpart will attack at any point in Real Life time, so it's heavily implied that his and your time passage is synched, which makes partial sense, since he's you but from an alternate timeline, convinced to work for the Microids.

San Dimas Time / int_4a6623ae	comment	Time travel in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is either one-way, or fixed to five time periods from the 1940s to the 2100s, each forty years apart. If a character spends time outside their native era, they'll return with the same amount of time passing. This is because the characters aren't time travelling; they're going between parallel worlds (more properly known as "Sectors" rather than "eras") that are not causally linked together.

San Dimas Time / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Homestuck calls this circumstantial simultaneity. It expresses how two events can happen "at the same time", even if they're not happening at the same time or if the events are in different timelines altogether. Characters called Exiles operate computers which monitor specific people from 413 years in the past. Several times, Exiles try to assist those they monitor, but they never attempt to send messages any time except exactly 413 years in the past, even when sending a message sooner or later could save lives. The big End of Act 5 Flash animation, [S] Cascade, involves no less than four different chronologies happening "simultaneously". For example, one of the major villains, Jack Noir, destroys a universe from the outside shortly after that universe was created. At the "same time", the Scratch is initiated to reset said universe, while Jack's past self in the future of the same universe is trying to escape from its destruction. This universe then explodes at the "same time" as another universe, even though the second universe existed before the first one, and the first universe was destroyed over 1024 years before the second universe itself explodes. In Act 6, a few characters use a chat program that lets them communicate with characters living centuries in the past (well, in the past from the future characters' perspectives) or across realities. These copies of the program are designed to run on San Dimas Time to prevent synchronization issues.

If a Xanthian was to spend a year in The Dark Ages, they would return to Xanth a year later. This spell was done that way so Xanth can trade with other time periods, and the rules of time travel clearly don't require it, as unescorted non-Xanthians end up randomly dislocated in time going in, for security purposes. Technically, nothing stops Xanthians from going to Earth, going back into Xanth, redirecting the isthmus to reconnect to Earth an hour earlier, going back to Earth, and meeting themselves there, and then coming back escorted by themselves so that one of them ends up in the wrong time, but the isthmus connection is incredibly vague about what time period it connects to, and getting somewhere near the right century is amazing, so that would not be possible in practice (to say nothing of the paradoxes).

San Dimas Time / int_69fa7496	comment	Disney Ducks Comic Universe: Donald Duck time travel stories generally uses this rule, at least in the sense of characters having a limited period of time to hang around in the past. Sometimes it's justified by the time travel mechanism; the machine didn't actually travel with them, but just sent them to a time and location, so they had to prearrange a time when the machine would pull them back to the present. One story presents a particularly convoluted example. Gyro Gearloose accidentally sends an atomic bomb back to the prehistoric era and sends Donald and his nephews to retrieve it. They can still contact Gyro from the past, and the same amount of time has passed since the journey for each party. A time paradox also causes Earth to slowly disappear at the same rate in both eras as the bomb starts to wreak havoc and history tries to fix itself, before Donald succeeds and the universe un-corrects itself. Gyro tries to explain this mechanism but only manages to give Donald and his nephews a headache. This comic has Mickey Mouse and Goofy badgered into traveling back in time to see the finals of an Aztec proto-soccer tournament, jump the same length of time to hours after they left, and find that Zapotec has recorded the game for them in the meantime.

The Doctor explains that because of the nature of the phenomenon, the IC team won't remember what happened in the sixties "until" it happens to Ace, essentially meaning the two halves of the story are happening at "the same time", with the IC team allowing one-way communication as they remember what happened next. He also says that the timeline is sufficiently in flux that they can't assume they didn't die during the sixties events. This is illustrated when the villain plummets to his death in the sixties, and his seventies counterpart has a moment of horrified remembrance before disappearing in a Puff of Logic.

San Dimas Time / int_7fcddc41	comment	The Journeyman Project series of computer games are all dependent on this trope. Whenever something in the past is altered, it creates "temporal ripples" that take a certain amount of San Dimas Time to reach the present. Having detected the initial waves, the Time Police has just enough time to send an agent into the distant past, jumping over the distortion wave. This protects the agent, however the present will be overwritten. Afterwards, it's the agent and the agent alone who must Set Right What Once Went Wrong. This is more explicitly addressed in the remake, Pegasus Prime. Retrieving an untempered record of history from Cretaceous, you return for a comparison in the altered present. Your boss, realizing his reality is about to be unmade, tries to stop you from carrying out your duty. The third game adds another variant of San Dimas Time. In the first and second games, you return to your time period of origin mere moments after you left. In the third, you seem to return to the home period roughly as much after you left as you spent in the past, given how events progress.

San Dimas Time / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Zig-Zagging Trope in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Future Tense". The crew encounters a time traveler from the future and activates his "homing beacon", so his people from the future can find him. Once it's activated, he and all his devices are instantly transported back home. Captain Archer notes that once they got the beacon's signal, the future people could take all the time they need to retrieve him. Except if the beacon is activated in the past, the future people should see it at any time — even before the ship travels back in time to begin with. In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode two-part "Past Tense", Sisko and Bashir accidentally interfere with a riot that was supposed to lead to the social change that helped the creation of the Federation. Cut to characters who are still in the series' normal future time period, who see the Federation disappear at that moment despite the critical event happening centuries ago! The same happens in reverse when they put things right... Perhaps the microscopic singularity that interacted with the chroniton particles to produce a temporal energy surge acted as a tiny time portal to keep changes in both timelines "in sync" until the situation in the past was resolved. Averted in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Time's Orphan", when eight-year-old Molly O'Brien falls into a Portal to the Past, which closes after her. Though the crew has to spend a few hours reactivating it, according to Odo, the plan is to beam Molly out "a few minutes after she fell".

Basically ignored in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Timeless", where the ship was destroyed in an attempt to return to Earth using an experimental new drive system leaving only Chakotay and Harry Kim as survivors. Fifteen years later, they find Voyager and retrieve the holographic Doctor, hoping to use Seven of Nine's Borg components and salvaged Borg technology to transmit equations into Seven's Borg implants moments before her death so that the propulsion system won't suffer the errors that caused Voyager to crash. When the initial transmission fails, the Doctor points out that they can easily call Voyager again as "the past isn't going anywhere", but that doesn't help if Harry doesn't know what revised equations to send the past crew. Ultimately he has to abandon the goal of getting Voyager home in favour of aborting the slipstream flight before Voyager crashes. The only thing that's threatening them is the USS Challenger, a Galaxy-class ship commanded by Capt. Geordi La Forge, which would easily overpower the Delta Flyer if they caught up with them.

When she is delayed in putting the book about his father into the mailbox, it doesn't get to 1998 in time. She writes him that the second anniversary of her losing her favorite tape recorder in 1998 is rapidly approaching. He just barely misses catching her at the train station in 1998 and giving her the tape recorder that she just dropped, so he has to settle for putting it in the mailbox so she gets it two years later. The ending has Eun-joo frantically sending an emergency message from the year 2000, hoping that it will get to Sung-hyun before he's struck and killed by a car in the past.

San Dimas Time / int_8bd02a57	comment	In Ghost Trick, every time Sissel goes time-travelling and returns to the present after averting someone's fate, it's always later than when he left (e.g., he left at 7:02 and returned at 7:21). The use of this trope doesn't make sense upon analysis, though, because Sissel is always forced to travel to the same point in history: four minutes before a given person's death. He could wait ten hours to time travel and save their life, and it wouldn't make a difference in the success of said mission.

When the Oceanic Six return to the Island in 2007, they are sent back in time to 1977. From everyone's perspective, it has been three years since they last met. Since then, everyone who enters or leaves the island is displaced permanently in time, but everyone who encounters each other after having done so will do so according to San Dimas Time.

San Dimas Time / int_8df5521b	comment	Superman: Early Legion of Super-Heroes stories are full of such moments, with characters crossing back and forth between the 20th and 30th centuries as if they were just on the other side of town. "Oh no! We're too late!" In The Great Darkness Saga, Superboy heads back to his century to celebrate his parents' wedding anniversary as insisting he has to leave right now, even though he can wait as long as he likes and still arrive in time. Subverted in a 1990s Superboy story, when the Legion lose a member in the timestream. The Legionnaires insist they need to find her as soon as possible, before something happens to her, to which Brainiac 5 replies, "Doesn't anyone realize we're talking about time travel?" In Legion of 3 Worlds, Superboy burns a line across Superboy-Prime's chest, and the same mark suddenly appears on the chest of Prime's future counterpart, Time Trapper. This is what convinces Brainiac 5 and the Legionnaires that the Time Trapper's knowledge of the past isn't set in stone, hypothesizing the Trapper is some sentient alternate timeline whose identity is in constant flux. Lampshaded in A Mind-Switch in Time. Superboy is heading towards the future and Ma is worried about him being away. Pa points out he will be back within one second because he is time-travelling. In The Immortal Superman, the President asks Superman not to fly into the past or future for the next 24 hours to avoid disrupting a military experiment. No sooner has he agreed this than Superman receives an urgent distress call from the year 101,970. Instead of simply waiting until the next day before setting off, Superman uses a defective time-bubble belonging to the Legion. It takes him to his destination, but the defect causes him to age every year along the way, leaving him trapped in the future and over a hundred thousand years old. The Condemned Legionnaires: Since they need Supergirl's help, the Legion wonders whether she will be available to travel to the 30th century...even though they can choose when she will receive their distress call, and Kara can take as much time as she wants before departing and still arrive in time. When Supergirl makes it to the future, a narration box notes she has taken an incredibly short time, even though she logically should arrive as soon as the call was sent. "The Unknown Legionnaire": Played with. Supergirl, who finds herself talking to the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th century, says she has to return to her classes in the 2oth century right now, or else someone could suspect she is Supergirl. After a chain of events have conspired to keep her in the future, her cousin lampshaded she does not need to hurry back because she is a time-traveller. She can stay for as long as she likes and return whenever she wants. Legion of Super-Heroes/Bugs Bunny Special: The Legion needs to develop a cure for Supergirl's deadly illness, but the necessary compound has been extinct for over five hundred years. Brainiac 5 insists that one of them must travel to the past and return quickly because they are running out of time; it never occurs to Brainy that he could travel to the past together with one team and his portable lab equipment, look for samples of Illudium Phosdex and develop a cure leisurely, and return exactly one second after their departure.

San Dimas Time / int_8f4ee60f	comment	Back to the Future doesn't use this trope; it derives its tension from an inability to activate the time machine or a need to avoid a temporal paradox. But since time travel is a novel, scary, and untested phenomenon, sometimes the characters behave as if San Dimas Time is in effect: Back to the Future: After Doc tears up Marty's warning letter about his fate in 1985, Marty laments that he'll be too late to warn Doc of his fate once he gets back to 1985 — until he realizes that he has a time machine, and he has all the time in the world. Unfortunately, he doesn't think to give himself any more than just ten minutes, and the DeLorean's engine is not obliging after traversing back to 1985, so he still doesn't make it in time to save Doc. Fortunately, Doc decided to bend the laws of history and read Marty's letter from 1955 anyway. Back to the Future Part II: Doc rushes to get Marty in position to pretend to be his own son in 2015, and his watch is synced up to 2015 time to make sure he's got his timing right. But if he's wrong, he's got a time machine and can start again- except he doesn't seem to realize this as an option. Much of the tension comes from direct causality; in Part II they recognize that the 2015 Biff changed the distant past to create an Alternate Timeline when they returned to 1985. Marty initially suggests going back to 2015 to stop Biff from changing the past, but Doc points out the alternate timeline will have reached 2015, so they need to figure out when in the past Biff changed the timeline. In fact, this leads to another issue: since they learned that Biff won his first millions at the horse race on his 21st birthday in 1958, which was in one of the books that Doc brought from the library, and after Marty learned about the earliest point being 1955, Marty and Doc never seem to think of going between then and 1955 to steal the alamanac back at a better point in that three year span of time so that they wouldn't risk running into Part I Marty and 1955 Doc.

San Dimas Time / int_90a3a7f4	comment	The Kim Possible fic â€œTunnel Visionâ€� sends Kim and Ron randomly travelling through time when they accidentally fall into the time tunnel created by Kim's father's latest project. The tunnel remains active and sends Kim and Ron on each time it powers up over the next few days, with the result that they travel from one time period to another for the next few weeks until they ultimately return home. The AU spin-off "Bridging the Gap" diverges from the above when Kim and Ron become trapped in 1903 after Shego attacks the research centre and damages the tunnel equipment. After six months of intense work with a range of scientists, Kim's father and Wade are able to retrieve Kim and Ron from the past, but although six months have passed from their perspective, an error in the calculations to re-establish a link with Kim and Ron's time results in them being retrieved from 1909 rather than 1903, at which point Kim and Ron are married and have a four-year-old son.

The reason for this is that Shining Armor literally did not exist until the day Twilight went to Ponyville, having been inserted into the timeline to be the Point of Divergence between the main world and Dark World, and thus he's experiencing time differently. This continues until his place in the timeline is cemented, causing the present to wait for him to "catch up" before moving forward.

San Dimas Time / int_a660fd96	comment	Justified in Avengers: Endgame. The only thing stopping the Avengers from getting unlimited do-overs if elements of their plan to steal past versions of the destroyed infinity stones went wrong is a limited supply of the particles they use to enter the quantum realm to travel to the past, since the creator of the particles is currently dead. They need to keep some Pym particles in reserve in order to return to the present, so if they fail to get one of the stones, they can't simply chase it further back. When the Avengers fail to retrieve the space stone from 2012 New York, it's a major setback and it forces Steve and Tony to take a MAJOR risk by using the rest of their supply of Pym particles to travel further back to a time where they can find their original goal AND enough Pym Particles to return to a present, specifically a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility in the 70s.

The story derives some dramatic tension from the fact that Seven traveled to the 23rd Century shortly after Janeway, Tuvok, and Neelix were critically injured by chroniton radiation, and only Seven was in a position to get them proper medical attention in time. She's well aware that the clock isn't ticking in the future while she's in the past, but the lives of three of her crew depend on her returning to the precise point in time and space she left. Thus, enough variables are in play that her best bet is the Dismantled MacGuffin scavenger hunt.

San Dimas Time / int_b0a9ed90	comment	Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is the Trope Namer, although the general rule seems to be more that they are part of a Stable Time Loop rather than they have to be synced up with their own timeline. Rufus tells the two that no matter when they are, "the clock in San Dimas is always running", so they need to hurry to get their research done in the past. But they actually return to their own time period to interact with themselves from a day previously, so there's no reason to suspect that they can't just give themselves more time if they needed it. Indeed, they figure out the time travel mechanics in such a way to be able to use their own future time traveling to influence their situation in their relative present. The second film averts completely, as the boys spend a year and a half traveling through time and arrive back a second after they left. It reappears in Bill & Ted Face the Music, when they learn they have a limited amount of time to write and perform the song that prevents The End of the World as We Know It.

The control room at Mason Industries always has a mission clock running above it, which appears to match the time the team spends in the past. There's also lots of urgency about sending the Lifeboat back in time as soon as the Mothership's timejump is detected. Were this trope not in effect, Flynn's changes to the timeline would have been instantaneous to anyone in the present the moment he went back into the past. There are some episodes where this is partially averted, such as when Wyatt's memories already contain information about a race car driver, who is actually a sleeper agent from the present that supplanted other racing celebrities from the original history. It could be that something about not being able to chase down all the sleeper agents right after they left the present meant that a Delayed Ripple Effect was able to catch up to the time team...or it could just be a Timey-Wimey Ball.

San Dimas Time / int_c1df815e	comment	Achron involves this, though more for gameplay purposes. The present is always moving, and any viewing of the past or future will by default involve the player moving through time at the same speed as the present. Changing any specific point in time also becomes harder as the present moves away from it, for balance reasons. However, the changes made in the past are periodically propagated faster than the player can go by timewaves, and the player can control their rate of movement through time. For example, fast forwarding will cause one to catch up to the present eventually, propagating changes along the way. This means that if someone else changes the past, you only have a certain amount of time to Set Right What Once Went Wrong, or else the change becomes irrevocable.

San Dimas Time / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who, being the progenitor of the Timey-Wimey Ball, will occasionally use San Dimas Time to explain whatever else is going on. One consistent rule (which became Ascended Fanon) is that all TARDISes and everyone in them run on "Gallifrey Time", which forces everything else into San Dimas Time. The effect of this is that if the Doctor meets another Time Lord â€” or one of his other incarnations â€” they will always remember events in the same order, even if the number of years in between may differ. But there are always Timey-Wimey complications and exceptions: In "Pyramids of Mars", the Doctor has only a narrow window of opportunity to trap Sutekh in the spacetime tunnel. Even if he were to use the TARDIS to return to Earth at a point hours or weeks earlier, he'd only wind up waiting around for the few minutes when Sutekh is in the tunnel, and can therefore be trapped. The fact that he rushes to get it done immediately is more an indication of his excitement level than fear of wasting precious San Dimas Time. The Doctor will often be out of sync with other time travellers who are using non-Gallifreyan technology, like Captain Jack's vortex manipulator. It's pointed out in "The Parting of the Ways", after the Doctor sends Rose back to the 21st century to get her out of the line of fire of an impending Dalek attack in 200,100. Rose is not happy, and desperately tries to get back as fast as she can, describing the events as happening "right now", but her mum Jackie points out that the future is way off and she shouldn't need to. Indeed, although it takes Rose several hours at the least to rip the TARDIS console open and access the Heart of the TARDIS to get back, less than an hour passes for the Doctor and Jack in the future before she actually arrives. River Song, despite being half-Time Lord, routinely experiences events in a different order from the Doctor, sometimes (but not always) in reverse order. They have to sync diaries to figure out what the other knows. The first meeting from the Doctor's perspective is the weirdest (and saddest), because when he doesn't recognize her at all, she knows (because he told/will tell her) that she dies at the end of that meeting. After all, she primarily uses tech like vortex manipulators to travel. The Time War appears to work in a fashion like this, although it's never properly explained; at the beginning of "The End of Time", Ood Sigma warns the Doctor that "events that have happened are happening now", alerting the Doctor that something is very wrong and causing him to rush to the TARDIS and get back to the twenty-first century. (He's just a bit too late.) It turns out this derives from the Doctor's solution to the Time War â€” lock them in time while he destroys them all, technically ending the war but not forcing them â€” or himself â€” to face the music. Out of universe, this trope is required to make the Doctor the Last of His Kind without running into any pre-war Time Lords. Time is sufficiently broken in "The Pandorica Opens"/"The Big Bang" that it seems to be running in San Dimas Time in two directions at once, explaining how the TARDIS can go around in time when it's also exploding and causing every star in the universe to supernova simultaneously at every point in time. The Doctor Who New Adventures novels expand on how "Gallifrey Time" works. What we know as time is called "Outer Time", and all Time Lords, as well as all TARDISes and their inhabitants, are fundamentally bound to what Gallifreyans call "Inner Time", which is an entirely separate dimension from what we call "time". Time Lords can travel freely in Outer Time, but never in Inner Time, which always passes at the same rate for everyone. This allows them to reconcile their timelines when they interact with each other. In fact, Outer Time â€” and what us Muggles would call "reality" as a whole â€” is an artificial construct created by the Seven Founders to make sense of physics. Other spin-off media seems to loosely ignore the above; Big Finish Doctor Who audios have in particular often had the Doctor experience out-of-sequence encounters with other Time Lords and even Gallifrey itself, such as the Sixth Doctor meeting a version of the Rani who has already caused his regeneration into his seventh body, or the Fourth and Seventh Doctors facing a younger version of the Master.

San Dimas Time / int_c9777ec1	comment	In the Night Gallery story "The Little Black Bag", people from the future discover that a medical bag has been accidentally sent back in time to the audience's present. They then deactivate the "futuristic" abilities of the tools in the bag, but with a gap between when the bag was found and the tools were deactivated similar to the time between when the bag was lost and it was realized to have been lost. This is unfortunate for the guy being operated on with a scalpel from the bag at the time, for one. (In Cyril M. Kornbluth's original story, time flows forward at "both ends", and the future-people let the bag keep working as long as monitoring equipment indicates the user is doing good with it. As soon as someone with murderous intent gains possession, the plug gets pulled.)

Half a season later, the Transformers realize the Quantum Wave travels in space and time. It should reach Cybertron around the time period they come from (the 24th Century). The wave in fact hits right about the same length of time after the Maximals left their century as they have spent in the past, establishing San Dimas Time. Now, the Tripredacus Council sends an agent back in the past, to assist the Maximals to apprehend the Predacons, figuring out the time period from the Quantum Wave. Because of San Dimas Time, he arrives several months after the Planet Buster's detonation, as opposed to some time before then (which could easily have caused a Temporal Paradox).

Why this happens, along with what happened at the point the windows initially extended from, is an unexplained mystery. This setting also has time moving at different rates in different time periods, meaning ten days in the past equals a single day in the present. However, this is only one of several options provided by GURPS Time Travel — it has rules to cover nearly every version of Time Travel on this site.

The time machine opens a single "gate", and while it's open, the people who go through are experiencing the past at the same rate that people in the future/present are experiencing it. Part of the climax is that, after everything goes horribly (and predictably) wrong, they have to go back in time to the same period and stop the screw-up. All this is pretty in synch with various hypothetical methods of time travel. The ways it affects the future is... jarring to say the least.

San Dimas Time / int_ef076a36	comment	Basically ignored in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Timeless", where the ship was destroyed in an attempt to return to Earth using an experimental new drive system leaving only Chakotay and Harry Kim as survivors. Fifteen years later, they find Voyager and retrieve the holographic Doctor, hoping to use Seven of Nine's Borg components and salvaged Borg technology to transmit equations into Seven's Borg implants moments before her death so that the propulsion system won't suffer the errors that caused Voyager to crash. When the initial transmission fails, the Doctor points out that they can easily call Voyager again as "the past isn't going anywhere", but that doesn't help if Harry doesn't know what revised equations to send the past crew. Ultimately he has to abandon the goal of getting Voyager home in favour of aborting the slipstream flight before Voyager crashes. The only thing that's threatening them is the USS Challenger, a Galaxy-class ship commanded by Capt. Geordi La Forge, which would easily overpower the Delta Flyer if they caught up with them.

San Dimas Time / int_f10a65b	comment	In Legends of Tomorrow: The Season One finale has Vandal Savage planning to set off three different Doomsday Devices in three different time periods "simultaneously" — presumably, this is in relation to San Dimas Time. The heroes stop him by splitting into three teams, each heading to a different time period and killing Savage in three time periods, also simultaneously. The problem is that Savage is immortal; but they solve this by exposing him to radiation from all three Doomsday Devices simultaneously, rendering him mortal. It's best not to think about it too hard. In the Season Three episode "Phone Home", Professor Martin Stein is revealed to have built a communicator capable of broadcasting through time so that he can keep tabs on his pregnant daughter, who is about to give birth to his first grandchild in 2017. There is a good deal of urgency about getting him to the hospital in time to be there for the birth, despite his living on a ship that travels through time. It's actually relatively consistent that "time" keeps flowing for the Legends even while they're running around time. Whenever they go to the "present" it's always the current time according to other shows, even the couple times they've taken a break they're returned to whatever the current date is in Flash and Arrow rather than the night Rip first recruited them in 2016, with them being away for all the months that have passed since that date.
