Far future

The far future was an undefined era of history, judged "far" into the future from the eras of human history that the Doctor tended to visit most frequently. It arbitrarily extended from after the end of the 100th century to the end of the universe.

== After the destruction of Earth ==
After the destruction of Earth, the survivors dispersed into the posthuman hegemony. One group, the Arcadians, considered themselves the preservers of the old Earth's ways, and they recreated Earth on various Earth-like planets. (PROSE: The Book of the War) On the planet of New Earth, an order of nurses called the Sisters of Plenitude was found to have been experimenting upon artificially created humans in New New York Hospital in the year 5,000,000,023. After the experiments were uncovered, the order was taken into custody by the New New York Police Department and the new humans went on to form a subspecies of humanity. (TV: New Earth)
Five years later, a new "mood" called Bliss was released on New Earth. The product went wrong when a virus mutated in it, killing most of the population of New Earth (the survivors were those in New New York's Undercity, which was blocked off) and everything else within seven minutes, when the virus even resulted in the death of itself. To protect the citizens of the Undercity, the Motorway was created, trapping - and thus, saving - them.
New New York's Undercity citizens were finally free from the undercity in 5,000,000,053. The Face of Boe died after sacrificing himself to save the inhabitants of New Earth, and revealed a final secret to the Tenth Doctor. At this time, humans continued to thrive. Some had interbred with other humanoid species. (TV: Gridlock)
The cure for Petrifold Regression was "discovered" by humans on 20 August 5,000,001,023, despite the fact that the Sisters of Plenitude had already developed a cure a thousand years previously. (TV: New Earth, PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary)

Circa 100,000,000,000,000, humans, Futurekind, and a few other species still survived in the elderly universe, an "end of all ages", when most stars and galaxies were extinguished. Those surviving humans prepared to journey to Utopia. (TV: Utopia) They made it, but they found the planet uninhabitable, and to survive they made themselves into the cyborgs known as the Toclafane. (TV: Last of the Time Lords)
As the universe approached its end, the Time Lords migrated to another universe along with a handful of other lifeforms that were deemed worthy. The last of humanity, not among the lifeforms chosen, was forced to settle on Ember, one of the last inhabitable planets in the universe, and construct frail metal bodies for themselves in order to survive. Holding a grudge against the Time Lords for abandoning them, as well as the Doctor for not coming to save them as he did in countless times past, the last of humanity created a plan to transfer their minds to 21st century Earth, and create a singularity of consciousness among all humans in order to prevent their ultimate fate. Their plan was ultimately thwarted by the Fifth Doctor, who visited Ember in order to say goodbye to the last human in the universe, Xen. (AUDIO: Singularity)
Following the Last Great Time War, the Time Lords transported their homeworld Gallifrey to the far distant future for their own protection to avoid a new war. (TV: Hell Bent)

(TV: Hell Bent)
100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 was the latest projected date for Event Two of an alternate universe. (PROSE: The Infinity Doctors)
== After the universe ==
Following Event Two, the after-universe would come into existence. (PROSE: Millennial Rites, COMIC: The Stockbridge Child) The City of the Saved was located after the end of the universe. (PROSE: The Book of the War)
== Behind the scenes ==
"Far future" is a term used for convenience on this wiki for events that occur during a hard to define period that is more difficult to describe than other time periods. It should be noted that time is a relative concept for individuals that use time travel. Therefore this term is conjectural.
Terry Nation's initial outline for The Daleks' Master Plan set its events in the year 1,000,000; this was changed to 4000.
Though not stated in the episode, writer Neil Gaiman revealed that he set TV: Nightmare in Silver as taking place "a quarter of a million years into the future."http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-05-05/doctor-who-neil-gaiman-sets-the-scene-for-nightmare-in-silver
