To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, BBC Future has created an interactive map of his travels through time. Can you guess which Doctor has made the most TARDIS trips? Click here to find out, and click on each trip to see archive video clips and images too.

This interactive image was produced by Information is Beautiful for BBC Future.

Oh please do click through to the BBC Future site. The interactive map is really something.

The time-travel spaghetti artists at Information is Beautiful previously put together this mega-map of time travel in pop culture, featuring several entertaining “ultra-paradoxes” (Marty McFly meets Star Trek crew and battles Terminator, anyone?)

But perhaps nothing will approach the epic time travel/pop culture intersection that is Temporal Anomalies in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, forever one of my favorite links on the internet. Prepare to have you brain blown outcha head. If you wanna save Buckbeak, you’re gonna need a wormhole.

#interesting #you tend to get the impression that O’s are rare #because of the ‘extra-good for blood banks’ thing #and the ‘recessive’ thing #but no we’re really not that rare at all

#what if the doctor is saying a whole bunch of different words in gallifreyan here #and they’re all just translating into physics because our puny human language doesn’t pick up on the subtleties #what if that’s what he really means when he says he hopes they’re getting all that down #secrets of time and space courtesy of the last of the time lords #what if

That is INCREDIBLE. I really want this to be truuuuue.
