The T.A.R.D.I.S. is an acronym for Time and relative dimensions in space and is a fiction vehicle for the Doctor in the BBC science fiction TV show called "Dr Who".

The Doctors TARDIS allows the Doctor to travel to anywhere in the galaxy and at any time in history and in the most recent episodes it can on rare occasions, allow him travel to different dimensions.

There are two things which make this time machine special, firstly it has the shape of a nineteen fifties emergency Police box. The doctor explains that this unusual exterior of his time machine is caused by a malfunctioning "Chameleon circuit". this circuit is responsible for allowing the TARDIS to take any external shape. However the circuit was damaged and became fixed as a Police box. In later episodes such as the most recent Doctor he simply dismisses the question as to why the TARDIS is that shape simply by saying "I like it that way".

The other feature that sets the TARDIS apart from other transport is that its bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. This is explained that the doorway of the TARDIS is a portal to another location in space.

The explanation is given that if you hold up a finger at arms length and one near your eye, which is bigger? The one near your eye appears bigger but you know both fingers are roughly the same size. The room of the TARDIS is in a fixed location in space and the doorway is the part that moves. The doorway of the TARDIS transports you to the room, hence it can be bigger on the inside, than the outside.
