WIBBLY-WOBBLY TIMEY-WIMEY: RELIGION AND HISTORY IN DOCTOR WHO

This engaging, entertaining, and educational series of fan panels will appeal to Whovians, armchair scientists, and generally curious minds. Bridging science and storytelling, this series explores the real-world science in Sci-Fi, engaging the world of Doctor Who.

October 18 @ 1:00 pm 2:00 pm

This panel will explore how a show that has had “all of time and space” as its playground chooses to talk about history, faith, and god(s). We know the Doctor is a Time Lord but how does the series come to grips with historical people, and even forces like causation and continuity and change, over time? Whether facing down Satan on the edge of a black hole or encountering the boundaries of the supernatural, how does the Doctor balance science and faith?
