Well, remember that only the exterior of the TARDIS `exists' in the real world (3-D space?), while the interior is within a different but `relative' dimension. Therefore, only a small fraction of the mass of the TARDIS probably `exists' in the real world also. Simon Barker (lepine@ctovax.DEC) mentioned SIDRATs in his article. He says: "...SIDRATs (which preceeded [sic] TARDISes)..." I thought at first too that SIDRATs were an earlier version of the TARDIS when I read "The War Games," but I now believe that the War Chief(?), another renegade Time Lord, introduced this crude version only to the War Lord. Can anyone back me up on this? -- Paul Kemp ihnp4!hou2a!pjk The above statements are those of the author only, and are not those of AT&T Bell Laboratories.
