| That's not true. Mars can't come that close. |

| Yeah, that was in 2003, and it was most certainly not close enough to appear like our moon does. |

| I must of read a misinformed article on that Mars issue and used the picture from the same article. I wondered why Mars looked so close to the same color as the moon was at first myself. I thought it Mars would have some more hues in it. |

Time machines similar to Dr Who’s Tardis are possible, Professor Brian Cox said in a speech at the British Science Festival.
“Can you build a time machine?” said Professor Cox. “The answer is yes.”
There’s just one, tiny problem, Professor Cox says - if you can build a machine capable of time-travel, you can only travel into the future. You can’t come back.
Professor Cox also suggested that research at the LHC might uncover extra dimensions - thus, perhaps finally explaining how the Tardis is bigger on the inside.
Professor Cox , a Dr Who fan, is to deliver a 60-minute speech on Dr Who to be screened by the BBC on November 23 - tackling questions such as extraterrestrial life, travelling to other dimensions and time travel.

The TARDIS[nb 1][1] (/ˈtɑːdɪs/ (Time and Relative Dimension in Space)[nb 2] is a time machine and spacecraft in the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who and its associated spin-offs.
A TARDIS is a product of the advanced technology of the Time Lords, an extraterrestrial civilisation to which the programme's central character, the Doctor, belongs. A properly maintained and piloted TARDIS can transport its occupants to any point in time and any place in the universe. The interior of a TARDIS is much larger than its exterior ("It's bigger on the inside"), which can blend in with its surroundings using the ship's "chameleon circuit". TARDISes also possess a degree of sentience (which has been expressed in a variety of ways ranging from implied machine personality and free will through to the use of a conversant avatar) and provide their users with additional tools and abilities including a telepathically-based universal translation system.

| Everything this forum needs is Lagrangian and Trance-MB posting in the science thread. Why don't you quote the Daily Mail while you're at it? |

Technically, what Lagrangian posted is absolutely correct. It's basic Special Relativity.
Differences in time (with respect to someone else also in uniform motion) can easily be accounted for. It's a fundamental law of physics.
Well... everything about from the Tardis |
