Summary:
"Geek out over the TARDIS, aliens, alternate timelines, parallel worlds, and all your favorite characters from the
Doctor
Who
Universe!
Doctor
Who
arrived with the
Space
Age, when the
Doctor
first began exploring the universe in a time-traveling spaceship. Over half a century since, the
Doctor
has gone global. Millions of people across this planet enjoy
Doctor
Who
in worldwide simulcast and cinema extravaganzas.
Doctor
Who
has infused our minds and our language and made it much richer. What a fantastic world we inhabit through the
Doctor
. The program boils over withballsy women, bisexual companions,
scientific
passion, and a billion weird and wonderful alien worlds beyond our own. The show represents almost sixty years' worth of magical science-fiction storytelling. And
Doctor
Who
is, despite being about a thousands-of-years-old alien with two hearts and a spacetime taxi made of wood, still one of our very best role models of what it is to be human in the twenty-first century. In The
Science
of
Doctor
Who
, we take a peek under the hood of the TARDIS and explore the
science
behind
questions such as: - What does
Doctor
Who
tell us about
space
travel? - Could the TARDIS really be bigger on the inside? - In what ways does the
Doctor
view the end of our world? - Is the
Doctor
right about alternate timelines and parallel worlds? - Will intelligent machines ever rule the earth? - Is the earth becoming more like
Doctor
Who
's matrix? - Is the
Doctor
a superhero? - How do daleks defecate? So welcome to The
Science
of
Doctor
Who
, where the
Doctor
steps smoothly in and out of different realities, faces earthly and unearthly threats with innovation and unpredictability, and successfully uses
science
in the pay of pacifist resistance!"--Publisher.
