Science confirms ‘Doctor Who-type world, Gallifrey’

NASA has confirmed the existence of a real-universe analogue of Gallifrey, the fictional Time Lord planet that features in the BBC science-fiction drama series, Doctor Who.
According to an article in the Register, NASA came across what it calls a “transiting circumbinary multi-planet system” – in layman’s speak, “two worlds orbiting two suns” – using its Kepler planet-hunting telescope, and the Register likens to “Doctor Who’s Time Lord homeworld [of] Gallifrey – or alternatively the luxury-planet-builders’ planet Magrathea [from] The Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy”!

It's only a matter of time science discovers a planet for each fandom...

"Can we go home, Doctor?"
"We can't. Everyone is gone. The planet is Timelocked."

Clearly this one isn't so I declare foul. :P

Nah, I'm kidding.

This is cool as shit. They already found Tatooine.

--"Fantastic!"
Fundie Doublethink:
* The Bible is the inerrant, literal word of God when it talks about the Earth being created in six days and homosexuality being an abomination. The Bible is a flawed work interpreted by errant humans when it talks about loving your neighbor, turning the other cheek, and the evils of greed.
*  All life is sacred and precious from the moment of conception until the moment of birth.
* You're not a sexist.  You just think women are nothing but baby machines and servants.

Let's leave it alone. Things never go well when you fuck with Magrathea.
