speed in the vortex

Some people point out that in the opening credits the tardis travels faster in the red vortex than in the blue one.

Vortex colours;

• Red= tardis traveling into the future
• Blue=travel into the past

The time winds flow into the relative future so more energy is required to travel into the past and the tardis goes slower. --Reecei 09:56, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Can you cite a source for this? (ie a TV/novel/audio drama/comic/short story etc) (Other than it being a theory?) --Tangerineduel 13:48, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Chameleon circuit

Whilst the circuit is broken, could it still be said that the exterior of the TARDIS still functions to a limited degree or still capable of minor alterations? It would explain the various changes in the design over the different years and props (compare the TARDIS in Spearhead from Space to Rose). Taccer 07 21:37, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

a popular fan theory. I think that one of the novels, audios, etc., has addressed this, but I don't know what specific ones, if any. --Stardizzy2 22:58, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

In http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_End_of_Time_%28TV_story%29 the doctor hides the TARDIS from seeing, does that means he used the chameleon circuit?--Gridcube 16:51, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

The BIG TARDIS

As I just added in a Behind the Scenes, Paul Cornell -- who has considerable Doctor Who bona fides -- wrote in his web comic for the BBC Writers' Comics webpage that the TARDIS can expand large enough to hold the entire Earth inside. This seems unlikely given had the TARDIS had this ability it would have made towing the Earth back from the Medusa Cascade a lot easier (and numerous other situations could have been resolved going all the way back to the 1960s). All that said, there might be a novel or comic or even episode that supports this - if so, then this probably can be moved into the main article. 23skidoo 22:16, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Well...in NA: Blood Heat it's Ace I think who materialises the TARDIS around the Earth, placing everything in state of grace, it doesn't cope too well with this, but it does do it (it should be noted though that this TARDIS was the Third Doctor's TARDIS from an alternate universe where he died, but following this story the Doctor appropiated said TARDIS).

Then there's ]]EDA]]: The Bodysnatchers, which is stated somewhere near the end about the TARDIS doors being able to be any-size they need to be and they're not constrained by the dimensions of the Police box shape.

I'm vaguely sure that TARDISes in general have been described as mini-universes, if that's taken literally then the whole TARDIS within a TARDIS thing in DW: The Time Monster and Logopolis takes on a new perspective. I think the mini-universe statement may have come from EDA: Alien Bodies (somewhere about the birthing of a TARDIS). --Tangerineduel 06:35, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Main Picture

The old picture of the tardis should be put back on top. This one is too big. Also, the new Tardis interior was previously removed, since series 5 hasn't aired yet, so this should be removed too.Gowron8472 17:55, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
