Research scientists working on the recent Dr.Who series say they are no nearer being able to explain what was going on over the twelve episodes than when they first started.
Despite months pouring over consistent configurations based on scientific principals and close examination of The Law of Cause and Effect, experts at the CERN facility in Switzerland found they are still unable to differentiate between an Aggedor from the planet Peladon and a simple Ood
An international team of physicists working around the clock since the series finished have been studying the main character’s increasingly manic behaviour, dissecting scripts, splitting them into particles and sub-particles, and then smashing them together in an underground tunnel to see if they either survive or mutate before eventually passing them through a high-energy accelerator. But as yet the project has met with little success.
Both narrative and plot remain a complete mystery.
Although still not proven, scientists believe watching Dr.Who can cause a reaction similar to that seen in the string-cheese theorem in which nobody actually admits to enjoying the general relative compound surrounding the quantum mechanics of cheese that is now string. But early tests indicate most people will happily recline on a kiln dried maple wood framework covered in synthetic padding with a dry biscuit in one hand and a TV remote in the other, enjoying both the negative and positive experiences of coagulated casein and disseminated radio transmissions simultaneously - especially if they think nobody else is around.
The behaviour of dynamical systems once used as a vehicle for early episodes of Dr.Who was first pioneered in France by theoretical physicist Henri Poincare during the 1880s and later perfected for TV by the script writers of Blake’s 7 in which the scenery of entire planets is known to have wobbled uncontrollably at the mere opening of an off-set window.
Scientists say although their understanding of Dr.Who is still in its infancy, they have however detected a new sub species of mainly middle-aged men - known throughout the scientific community as ‘Pond Life’ – who have been pre-recording the latest BBC1 series and watching it late into the night when everyone else has gone to bed and using the HD freeze facility to frame certain characters in the most inappropriate manner.
David Linden from the American based Physiological Society say they are no nearer to understanding how a Dr.Who script works than when the creature was first discovered over 50 years ago and any meaningful explanation could be decades away although his five year old daughter who has just returned from a day-trip to the self-healing planet Vortis in the 7th vollenuim with her friend Becky reckons she knows a bit about it.
