The TARDIS

The TARDIS, which stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space, is a fictional time machine and spacecraft that appears in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Created by the Time Lords, an advanced extraterrestrial civilization, the TARDIS is much larger on the inside than it appears from the outside, thanks to its dimensionally transcendental engineering.

One of the most iconic features of the TARDIS is its ability to travel through time and space, allowing the Doctor, the show's protagonist, to explore different planets, historical events, and parallel universes. The TARDIS is also known for its distinctive appearance, resembling a British police box from the 1960s.

Throughout the series, the TARDIS has become a beloved symbol of Doctor Who and is often considered one of the most famous fictional devices in science fiction history.
