How did the Master destroy Galifrey by himself?

By simply hacking the Matrix?

I’m all good with everything else since as a kid in the eighties, I suspected there were previous versions of the Doctor that were kept secret. This confirmed a childhood theory and it was awesome.

In the parallel universe that gave us Bad Wolf Bay and the other cybermen, where was the Doctor for that reality??

She was there until something made here leave like maybe 10.2? We have the Judoon, Jack, and an alternate Doctor. Does this hint at Rose and even 10.2 returning?

 

Please be so!
