Will Martin (brl-tgr!wmartin) asked why can the
TARDIS be moved around with relative ease if the
TARDIS is so massive.

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?
