The one question that Ive been running away from all these Years ..
Doctor - Who ?
Doctor - Who ??
Time Travel - dont make me laugh altough in an infinite Time Zone everything will happen also Time is not what you think it is ...
So there.
Meet the new Doc - same as the old Doc.
PS I did reecently work (in an IT capacity) on a Cosmic Time Travel project - True or False ?Last edited by AlfredJPruffock; 16 July 2012, 23:23.

The physics is totally irrelevant, since Dr Who is an adventure story and a bit of a laugh. (Personally, I think time travel is impossible, and will maybe one day be shown to be, but what does that matter?) To write Dr Who off simply because it has time travel in it is a bit daft though. Here's a few fairly heavy duty sci-fi authors who've written stories including time travel.
Poul Anderson
Isaac Asimov (thiotimoline! )
Robert Forward
Harry Harrison
Larry Niven
Heinlein
Kornbluth (Little black bag)
Harlan Ellison
Michael Moorcock
Julian May
Bob Shaw
Clifford Simak
That's just off the top of my head. I've definitely missed a few...
Hey, how about all of these!

a)Classing any Sci Fi which includes TT as bad is silly for a start
b)Yes of course they do. Not many but "no-one" is really not something a scientist should claim
Perhaps you'd like to name someone serious who regards travelling backwards in time, for a macroscopic object, as feasible, or explain how you think it might work bearing in mind what I've said above.

I quite like Doctor Who (just about the only telly I've watched since about 2002), but they've really been messing it around the schedules for the past year or two, so I find I miss it rather than chase it about. I'll catch up on iPlayer at some point, I'm sure.

And before we get too serious...

Spacetime can be bent - that's the whole point of General Relativity. There are paths around very dense spinning objects (like a few members here), that end at a point in spacetime before the beginning. Also, there's no particular reason why spacetime can't be bent to provide a navigable route back in time. (It isn't possible, so far as current scientific understanding is concerned, to go back to a time before the time machine or path was created ).
Not that it matters one jot, since the time-travel aspect is merely a literary device in order to tell stories.
