ROMANA: Don’t you think that’s a bit dangerous?
THE DOCTOR: No, I don’t! What could possibly go — (The TARDIS lurches, knocking the Doctor over) — wrong? You know, I’ve simply got to stop saying that! Every single time I say “What could possibly go wrong?” something goes — oh! (The TARDIS lurches again, knocking both over) It’s uncanny, isn’t it?Doctor Who (1963–1989) British science fiction television series, original run (BBC)

THE DOCTOR: To the rational mind, nothing is inexplicable; only unexplained.
LEELA: So explain to me how this “TARDIS” is larger on the inside than the out?
THE DOCTOR: Hmm? All right, I’ll show you. It’s because insides and outsides are not in the same dimension. [holds up two black cubes of different sizes] Which box is larger?
LEELA: [points to the larger of the two] That one.
THE DOCTOR: Alright. [places the larger cube on the console, walks over next to Leela, holds up the smaller one] Now, which is larger?
LEELA: [scoffs, points at the cube on the console] That one!
THE DOCTOR: But it looks smaller.
LEELA: Well, that’s because it’s further away!
THE DOCTOR: Exactly! If you could keep that exactly that distance away, and have it here, the large one would fit inside the small one.
LEELA: That’s silly.
THE DOCTOR: That’s trans-dimensional engineering: a key Time Lord discovery!Doctor Who (1963-1989) British science fiction television series, original run (BBC)

SARAH JANE: What’s gone wrong this time?
THE DOCTOR: Nothing. Nothing at all. What makes you think something’s gone wrong?
SARAH JANE: Because you always get rude when you’re trying to cover up a mistake.
THE DOCTOR: Nothing of consequence. Slight overshoot, easily rectified.
SARAH JANE: Come on, where are we?
THE DOCTOR: We’ve come out of the time vortex at the wrong point, that’s all. A few years too late.
SARAH JANE: How many?
THE DOCTOR: Thirty thousand.Doctor Who (1963-1989) British science fiction television series, original run (BBC)

I first learned about #antimatter from the classic #DoctorWho serial Planet of Evil, where the #FourthDoctor informed me that, "Antimatter in collision with matter causes radiation annihilation. A release of energy more powerful than nuclear fission."
Now my office overlooks the Antimatter Factory at #CERN. Earlier this week, the BASE experiment transported antimatter for the first time ever.

In times of both stress and in times of fun, it's best to recall the Fourth Doctor's advice: "There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes."
Find the fun where you can, when you can. We strive to make the world better one smile, one laugh at a time.
