The Tenth Doctor , the Meta - Crisis Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble later used it to return all but one of them to their original locations . ( TV : " Journey ' s End " ) Features . The Daleks ' version was evidently somewhat more advanced than the Time Lord version , which destroyed most of Earth ' s surface when it was used on the planet ; by comparison , the Dalek version did no apparent damage at all to the planet , however it was used to move the rest of the solar system at the same time so it must have caused some feedback . While it can be assumed that the Time Lord magnetron probably could have been used to transport objects through time as well as space , only the Dalek technology was explicitly shown to have a temporal aspect , as some of the stolen planets were taken from completely different moments in time . ( TV : " Journey ' s End " ) Alternate timelines .
