Time Travel and Bedtime Stories

by Elisa

Today I bring you a couple of completely different videos. This first offering features John Barrowman reading a bedtime story for Cbeebies. This Monday edition of the BBC’s Bedtime Story has John reading a cute little story about a near-sighted dinosaur called Bumposaurus. (According to WHSmith, the book is by Penny McKinlay and Britta Teckentrup, in case you are interested in reading it for yourself.) I actually liked this story a bit more that the other one I saw him read. John even has a wee stuffed dinosaur to keep him company while he reads this time.

My second video for you is of a more scientific nature. See Exhibit A above? No, your eyes are not deceiving you. That is, in fact, a TARDIS on the cover of Michio Kaku’s Physics of the Impossible. Mind you, I checked out this book and encountered no reference to Doctor Who in the index. I didn’t get the time to read the book itself, sadly. Perhaps I will when it comes back in to the library. It looks like there must be a Doctor Who fan somewhere out there working in the field of book cover design. In any case, I went over to my trusty YouTube and what did I find? Michio Kaku himself talking about Time Travel and Parallel Universes! So, sit back and enjoy a few minutes of scientific hypothesis complete with pop culture references.

Hey. Anything that gets me closer to having my own TARDIS, right? Enjoy!
