*The [[Earth]] is warmed up by the [[Sun]].  That is what stirs up convection currents in the oceans and in the atmosphere.  If the Earth is moved to the [[Medusa Cascade]] where there is no nearby star, eg the Sun, then these convection currents in the [[Earth's Atmosphere]] and in the [[Earth's Oceans]] will not move, thus changing the Earth's climate and weather.  Also the Earth would rapidly loose heat, like it does after it has got dark.  Why is does the effect on the climate and weather, or the rapid loss of heat not mentioned on this episode?
*If there are twenty-seven planets (including the Earth) then they will attract each other with their [[Gravity]].  The all different planets in the [[Solar system]] orbit the sun, like in every solar system, a lot of the planets are orbited by a [[Moon]].  This is what stops the planets in the Solar System from falling towards the sun and moons from falling towards there parent planet.  None of the planets in the Medusa Cascade orbit another planet, so logicaly the planets should fall towards each other (the smaller planets doing the most falling and the larger ones falling the least).  If there is some force stopping the planets from falling towards each other, then everything loose that is on the planets including the people on the Earth, would fall off the serface of the planets and fall towards a point in the Medusa Cascade, where the force of gravity is even in all directions.  Why does none of this happen?
*It is not explained how the Daleks know of Harriet Jones. ''The Daleks might have researched major Earth history, particularly other alien invasions, so they might know that she had ordered the Sycorax ship to be shot down.'' ''The Cult of Skaro absorbed knowledge of Earth from a Torchwood staff member in Doomsday - this could easily have included knowledge of Harriet Jones. The infomation could have then been transferred from Caan's memory banks.''
