Let's say you had a block of matter at some location, and opened a micro-wormhole from that block to, say, downtown London, 1962. If the Londoners would look away from the hugely engrossing sci-fi show about a gentleman who travels through time in a phone booth, they would see... well they'd need an electron microscope to do it, but they would see a single atom of that matter block.

So, do the same thing several billion times over, with each wormhole leading to just a few nanometers adjacent to another. You create the illusion of a piece of matter in London, 1962, whereas the actuall matter is off in some distant part of the universe. You could then have the illusion of a Police Public Call Box, which even appears to open and close, and then have a door-sized (and shaped) wormhole -at- the door, leading to a pocket dimension outside of time and space.

So, the TARDIS doesn't really travel through time, so much as it maps itself as being in a particular location in space time.

Yep. 12th level Nerd.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/11/movie-gadget-friday-the-doctors-tardis-from-doctor-who/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/11/movie-gadget-friday-the-doctors-tardis-from-doctor-who/And I was just going to make a Tom Baker comment.

Ah well,

Tom Baker RULEZ!!!!

Everybody, check out the remix of Dr. Who's theme song. It's by "Orbital" Very techno-ish.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/11/movie-gadget-friday-the-doctors-tardis-from-doctor-who/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/11/movie-gadget-friday-the-doctors-tardis-from-doctor-who/
The original boxes in Glasgow were painted red, but thanks to the Glasgow Building Preservation Trust and the Doctor Who Society, four of the boxes have been restored as public landmarks and remain a source of interest for residents, Doctor Who fans and visitors to the city.

Earlier last year, the Police Box located on the corner of Great Western Road and Byres Road was converted into a small coffee outlet, much in the style of the boxes dotted around Edinburgh. (The ones in Edinburgh are wider, and don't carry the same 'Doctor Who' prestige).

I chatted to the propietor, Gavin Wright, and took some photos of his 'Coppuccino' outlet.

Gav also has permission to open up similar coffee outlets in other boxes around Glasgow, with various restrictions and clauses - including the guarantee that he would not permanently modify the facade of the boxes.

Looking at the new "Green" console room it seems to more the Type 102 style with less organics to it - for those of you not familiar with type 102 TARDIS's they were the living TARDIS that were human like beings capable of time travel and yes had a very large interior; see the 8th Doctor range from Shadows of Avalon to The Ancestor Cell (actually they first appear in The Taking of Planet Five but you probably already knew that) ;-)

What is it called when something is bigger on the inside then on the outside?

To my surpise the first new episode was great. A little short, but still great.

My favorite Doctors are Tom Baker and Patrick Troughton. I do believe the new guy is going to be one of my favorite Doctors. I also think Jon Pertwee and Peter Davison were good Doctors.

And of course William Hartnell stands in his own category.

My least favorite Doctor was Sylvester McCoy. I think he should have never been chosen as The Doctor. I simply hated him! I stopped watching the show with him as the Doctor.

Well to say I rather like the new Doctor Who a lot. I hope the rest of the show is as good as the first episode. Also I wouldn't mind a little stoll thru the TARDIS to revisit all the other console rooms. I believe the white ones are still in there. The Doctor has many console rooms. He just chooses to use which ever one he feels like. Remember Tom Baker used the wooden one for a while. I like that wooden one!!!

Alright I'm outta here. Take care everyone! Thanks for reading my comments.
