#fourthdoctor — Public Fediverse posts

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.

A quotation from Terence Dicks

I've messed about a bit more with Target Books covers, this time speculating about what a Meglos reissue would look like in the modern style

More complicated than it looks, as there's no picture of Meglos looking forward and/or holding the Dodecahedron like that.

One of my little ways of marking the #DoctorWho 60th Anniversary this year - cosplaying a different Doctor every month for my avatar.

So February is the Fourth Doctor! (With genuine Herbert Johnson Poet Fedora identical to Tom's, Lovarzi scarf, custom made replica jacket and neckerchief supplied by Bob Mitsch, and Magnoli Clothiers replica cardigan)
