The Science Of Dr. Who

Netflix has a great documentary exploring the science behind Dr. Who. For those not familiar with the show, Dr. Who is a British Sci-fi series that has been on the BBC since the 1960s. The show is based on time travel, which the documentary explores the plausibility of time travel.

I like the documentary on many levels. First and foremost, it will peak your kids interest to watch Dr. Who. The series itself in my opinion is great for kids, as it taps into their critical thinking skills. Another reason to watch the documentary is the scientific knowledge that will benefit children from watching. (Adults for that matter)

Noted Physicist Brian Cox provides an overview of 6 pioneers of science exploration. He connects the viewer to the works of likes of Einstein, and how they relate to time travel. Time travel may happen one day, and the world of Dr. Who may be a reality.

There are a lot of interesting aspects to this documentary that make for a great viewing experience for parents and children. The science of Dr. Who is more interesting than one might think. You can find this documentary on Netflix and YouTube. Pop the corn and get watching!
