The television series, “Doctor Who” is
an example how science has inspired people to view our future and uses digital effects
such as a time travel to explore not only earth from the past to the future, but
also different words and dimensions. Throughout all the journeys the main
character, ‘The Doctor,’ experiences, the one theme that is consistent is that
of always helping people in need and doing what is right even if it means
sacrificing one’s self. The series combines imaginary ideas of the existence of
a multitude of alien beings with
expanded scientific theories of black holes, relativity and time-space
continuums with a mix of human history which is usually portrayed as the most
vulnerable and in constant need of protection.
The focus of the human experience is at the heart of this show and no
matter the scenario, saving humanity is of utmost importance since we are
portrayed as unique beings driven by feelings, especially love, kindness and
hope.
Even though the time traveling is not
scientifically accurate in our modern day, I believe science can actually eventually
evolve into make time traveling a possibility in the future. I feel this way
since even 30 years ago, if you described an iPhone, the wide use of the
internet and even social media like Facebook, people would think you were
talking of a future society or advanced alien technology. Thinking of how
technology continues to expand at such a fast pace where in a span of 100
years, societies go from just discovering electricity to being able to use a
phone to video conference someone via an iPhone app (i.e. FaceTime) from across
the globe, our level of advancement is awe-inspiring. I strongly believe that there
are so many possibilities that will continue to inspire science and technology
to make the science fiction today a reality for us tomorrow.
