At the beginning of the 21st Century monsters still roam the remote, and sometimes not so remote, corners of our planet. It is our job to search for them. The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is - we believe - the largest professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals. Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world. Since 2009 we have been running the increasingly popular CFZ Blog Network, and although there has been an American branch of the CFZ for over ten years now, it is only now that it has a dedicated blog.

TARDIS POSSIBILITIES

Some time ago a program was put out on television regarding the science of the series Dr Who.  It concluded that everything in it was scientifically possible except his headquarters, the Tardis.  Because this is bigger inside than outside, it is not physically possible.

But what about this for a suggestion?  Supposing you enter the Tardis and, in entering, find yourself in a different dimension which corresponds exactly to the structure's interior as perceived by the entrant.  You are not actually in the Tardis, but the illusion is created that that is where you are.  When you exit through the door through which you entered, you return to our dimension.

Would it work that way?
