The
Physics of
Doctor Who
By Austin Head and Sarah Williamson
As many people know, Doctor Who is a TV show from
Europe that follows the shenanigans of a man
called the Doctor.
The events that occur throughout the many episodes
are fantastic, and more than a little
unrealistic. These include, but are not limited
to, time travel in a matter of seconds, space
travel in a matter of seconds, aliens lifting
entire buildings off of Earth and teleporting them
to the moon,
orbiting a black hole (within the event horizon),
In this web project our goal is to figure out a
little
bit of the physics behind all this and see
just how probable (which won't be very) the
events are.
