Transdimensional engineering: Difference between revisions

'''Transdimensional engineering''' was the technology of creating [[dimensionally transcendental]] objects, which the [[Fourth Doctor]] proclaimed a "key [[Time Lord]] discovery". It was used to make [[TARDIS]]es bigger on the inside. The Doctor demonstrated how this could be done to [[Leela]], by using two boxes of different size. He placed the larger box on the [[TARDIS console]], and then walked to stand next to Leela and asked which one was bigger, which was pointed out by Leela, to which the Doctor stated it was smaller which was because of the distance. The Doctor said that if the large box was kept away at that distance, and had it nearby the larger box would fit inside the smaller box. Leela called that "silly," much to the Doctor's annoyance.([[TV]]: ''[[The Robots of Death]]'') The [[Thirteenth Doctor]] explained that the ability to engineer dimensions was beyond human comprehension.

Other than the Time Lords, the [[Dalek]]s ([[TV]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'', ''[[The Evil of the Daleks]]'') and [[Mawdryn]]'s people, who sought to emulate the Time Lords, had developed this technology and employed it in their [[transmat capsule]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mawdryn Undead]]'') The [[Genesis Ark]] was known as "Time Lord science", which the Tenth Doctor elaborated was a [[prison ship]] which was bigger on the inside. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'')

 

The [[War Lord]]s possessed dimensionally transcendental [[space-time vessel]]s known as [[SIDRAT]]s, though only those provided by a renegade Time Lord, [[the War Chief]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Games]]'')
