Need to shatter a window without your sonic screwdriver? Look for the possible futures in which singing a high note shatters the glass. It can be useful for saving a Timelord's life. Some are driven mad by this understanding. All of the possibilities that stem from an event, their range can differ, from 5 seconds to millennia.
I believe that the Timelords can see possibility curves. He brought her to Earth, time unraveled, she fixed it by shooting herself. It's my personal theory that something similar happened when the Doctor tried to save Adelaide in The Waters of Mars, and he just didn't remember it because he wasn't a part of the fixed point like he was the later time. When she refuses to shoot the Doctor, thus violating a fixed point, the timestream unravels and all of time happens at once. We see this firsthand in the episode The Wedding of River song. This sort of massive rewrite is very damaging to the fabric of time and has catastrophic consequences for reality. So much relies on things happening exactly that way that if they happen differently almost all of time afterward has to be rewritten. Some changes, however, have so many consequences that the universe can't easily correct for them. Nobody cared what suit he was wearing that day. Well, so what? He'll still be assassinated, and history will continue as it did. Say you go back in time and convince Abe Lincoln to wear a different suit to the theater. The timeline can easily adjust when something is changed. Most changes in time are inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
