The Science of Doctor Who poster

Overview

For one night only, Professor Brian Cox takes an audience of celebrity guests and members of the public on a journey into the wonderful universe of the Doctor, from the lecture hall of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. Drawing on the latest theories as well as 200 years of scientific discoveries and the genius of Einstein, Brian tries to answer the classic questions raised by the Doctor. Can you really travel in time? Does extra-terrestrial life exist in our galaxy? And how do you build something as fantastical as the TARDIS?

00:00:00 Blowing your mind, that's what Doctor Who's all about.
00:02:05 Although it doesn't look pretty from the outside
00:04:05 there's a whole world in here, just like you said.
00:06:05 So yeah, Doctor Who has got his TARDIS
00:07:49 I don't think it's very likely, and I might even put it as low as a 1.
00:09:46 brought together closer, and then you can travel between them with a wormhole.
00:11:47 what happens to me?
00:13:29 is somebody else would have taken over the Third Reich
00:15:18 I'd say give it a 4.
00:17:22 Today you're in a car accident, you get a new door
00:19:08 Well, the Earth is invaded almost constantly on Doctor Who
00:20:53 I mean, this is the danger with science fiction.
00:23:01 Now, part of me wants to say, well, what would be wrong with that?
00:24:37 he hears his baby crying.
00:26:40 it would not stop, there was no intonation in the tone
00:28:38 For the cyborg experiment
00:30:39 The idea of implanting things into us, to sort of improve--
00:32:38 It's inherently absurd, and it's not aggressive.
00:34:34 Quite why you'd want to do that is a mystery to me.
00:36:32 They seem a long, long way away--
00:38:35 The cloned Doctor isn't a cheaper, rough copy of the original.
00:40:21 But for that, cloning isn't enough.
00:42:01 Leaving all the horrendous ethical issues aside
01:09:06 were all over London.
