TARDIS from Doctor Who
Fictional vehicleAbout
The TARDIS, short for Time And Relative Dimension In Space, is a central element in the British science fiction series Doctor Who. It is a time machine and spacecraft that allows its users to travel through time and space. The TARDIS is known for its exterior resemblance to a blue police box, a common sight in Britain during the 1960s, due to a malfunction in its chameleon circuit. This circuit was designed to change the TARDIS's appearance to blend into its surroundings, but it has remained stuck in the police box form. The TARDIS is "bigger on the inside," housing a vast interior space with multiple rooms and corridors. It is capable of traversing not only time and space but also alternate realities. The TARDIS is more than just a vehicle; it is a character in its own right, often depicted as having a mind of its own and a deep connection with the Doctor. It serves as a home and a symbol of adventure and exploration, embodying the essence of Doctor Who. The TARDIS's iconic design has become synonymous with the show, symbolizing its blend of adventure and science fiction.
