I always figured it was a matter of perception. They need TARDISes and other technology to actually change anything, but their limited telepathic abilities, combined with other extrasensory hints like being able to feel the rotation of a planet and their mad multi-tasking skillz suggests to me that they may be a bit like Jedi, but with time instead of the Force. I don't think they exist OUTSIDE time so much as they are just hyper-aware of time and are quite adept at fine-tuning their - and others' - perceptions. They were then able to manufacture technology that matched, then exceeded their own time sensing abilities.

*shrug*

That's my view of it, anyway.

I kind of like that view better, and it does explain why the whole old series didn't unhappen when Gallifrey went kaboom, but it still raises the question of why the younger Doctors aren't aware of the War if it didn't happen sort of...outside the normal spacetime continuum. Otherwise they'd be able to see (and potentially feel) that it wasn't there every time they went past a certain point.

But trying to understand how the Time War works is yet another thing that makes my brain bake a little, so...yeah.
