There's been several threads discussing the exteior of a Tardis and what it might look like, especially the designs by Starsuperion. In Doctor Who there have been scenes which show the Tardis travelling through the Time Vortex and we see it as the Police Box. Now, as we know that the Tardis itself exists in a sort of time bubble (correct if I'm wrong) then shouldn't we see the actual Tardis exterior within the Time Vortex as I'm assuming that these two realms are the same?
It would be interesting to see the actual exterior on screen and I think this could be the best way to show it?
Well from what I understand is that the Other dimension in which the "
Actual" TARDIS ship exists, is outside the time vortex.. and normal space-time itself, as it is in it's own artificially generated pocket dimension..
the Time Vortex is merely a wormhole that connects through time-space and the exterior (
police box) is then moved inside that vortex through dematerialization
(this is because the time vortex exists in either its own dimensional string theory, subspace, or hyperspace and not normal space), once inside the time vortex the ships engines propel the tardis to it's intended destination depending on the chronoton particles age and which measure the Tardis's progress through time..the engines bend the space-time around the ship and propel it through to the end of the vortex to an ending opening wormhole. the opening of the time vortex hole sends back readings to the tardis which tells it where and when it is in the time-space continuum..as the worm hole is extended by the tardis till it reaches it's intended destination..once there, the Tardis rematerializes in normal space-time and lands..
the artificial Eye of Harmony
(which is a black hole's core or a singularity can warp reality, as seen in the 1996 movie) in the Tardis cloister room, warps space and creates this wormhole time vortex..since the ship's interior exists outside of normal space and Time itself being in it's own dimensional pocket, it can access any place in space and time using the wormholes it creates, and by way of dematerializing and rematerializing through subspace or hyperspace and then into the time vortex itself...
because the ship's interior and exterior are tied to one another physically, the dimension inside the police box goes where ever the outside goes, and thus the outside is propelled anywhere the engines inside the pocket dimension push the outside police box to..
at least that is how I understand it..
also, from what I understand the reason the time lords are called
"the lords of time" is because they somehow created an anchor using the original eye of harmony, which allowed them to pull what I can only assume is a string theory
string, a massive energy pathway that runs the length of all of this reality, and does so in it's own dimension as well..this string runs through time and space and is a sort of super highway.. this makes it easy for a tardis to traverse all of eternity and back again.. once the tardis opens it's access to this highway via it's own wormhole in subspace or hyperspace which creates an on ramp to this highway, it then can go anywhere in time and space easily..
they must have been able to bend that string to their Homeworld, and also access it's many off shoots throughout history.. kinda like a single massive highway that leads to others in time and space..by mapping these and setting coordinates to the Tardis machine, they know where and when they are in space and time, along with the chronoton particles ages..
I have had several ideas on what the Tardis could and should be.. I even read a book that had the 7th doctor and ace battling an intruder in the tardis, and ace viewing the ship's Actual likeness through a watch tower, and somehow the doctor flying outside of the Tardis in it's own dimension, which apparently he survived..anyhow,
the description in that novel basically described the Tardis as a series of domes on a flat plane with twisting corridors to each one, and massive pillars holding back the dimension, and which those pillars disappeared into gray clouds above it all..each dome represents 1 room..
this description was hard to realize and seemed rather stupid to me..I did some more research and came up with something that looked like a freaking chandelier...
then after reading more material, rewatching every reference and mention I could find in the classic series.. I finally came up with the winner design, which embodied all of the classic shows assertions of how the ship may be, and included anything "
useful" from the novels. much of Doctor who is a contradiction..
but in the final analysis, I think my designs of what the Tardis could be are pretty darn close to the descriptions and what we already know of the ship..at least that is how I think it is..I agree it would be nice to see it finally.. but I doubt they ever will do it.. however, in the off chance they do, I would love to see my latest work be the design used.. it embodies a late victorian style to it's design and is surely unique..plus it fits all the known parameters that are necessary to the description of the Tardis..
Here is my design from the side view once again..
if you can see the core and the rooms which are constructed after the core and are grown via energy matter conversion via a system similar to that of the STNG food replicators..
