Can basic quantum physics explain all of the traits of the tardis other than the consciousness and living metal?
According to current understanding of quantum mechanics, it is theoretically possible for objects to exist in multiple places at once and for time to be non-linear. This concept, known as quantum superposition, could potentially explain the TARDIS's ability to travel through time and space.
In quantum physics, the concept of wave-particle duality suggests that particles can exist as both waves and particles at the same time. This could explain the TARDIS's ability to appear larger on the inside than on the outside, as it could potentially manipulate its particles to exist in a wave-like form and expand its interior space.
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle affects the state of the other, regardless of distance. This could potentially explain the TARDIS's ability to travel instantly, as it could manipulate particles to become entangled and transport itself to a different location.
The chameleon circuit, which allows the TARDIS to change its exterior appearance, could potentially be explained by quantum tunneling. This is a phenomenon where a particle can pass through a barrier that it does not have enough energy to overcome, by borrowing energy from the surrounding environment. The TARDIS could potentially use this concept to change its exterior form.
While the TARDIS's power source has not been explicitly stated, it is possible that it could be powered by a quantum energy source. This could be in the form of quantum fluctuations or zero-point energy, which are both concepts in quantum physics that suggest the existence of energy even in empty space.
