- How about something even simpler. The Exterior Of a Tardis is infinitly
- Configurable right? With a working Camelion curcuit they can take any size,
- and shape, and the exterior size is NOT related at all to the interior size.
-
- Try this on for size. What if the exterior of the Tardis Was configured with
- and infenitessimal width, and was placed up against the wall? Then it would
- be infront of the wall, and there would be no problem with it having to
- materilize around or in the wall. It would just be infront of the wall. Sorta
- like Leaning a Piece of cardboard upagainst the wall, Bute the cardboard would
- have esentaialy no depth to it.
-
- Does that sound like a plauseable way to make it work?
