GlacierShade & DoctorWho
GlacierShade
Hey Doctor, I’ve been charting glacier melt over the last century and it feels like a race against time—sort of like your adventures. Do you have any ideas about how time travel could actually affect the ice?
DoctorWho
Time travel, eh? Picture this: if you hop back to the last ice age, you could drop a handful of ice from your pocket into the sea, and it might seed a new glacier that sticks around longer. But come forward and you’ve already warmed the planet a bit—now those tiny bits you planted might melt faster than you can count. In short, every ripple you make is a pebble in the ice, so even a single splash could turn a slow slide into a splash‑dash. Better keep your TARDIS in good shape and maybe leave the ice untouched—unless you’re ready for a frosty paradox!
GlacierShade
That’s an elegant thought experiment, but the ice is already a complex system. A tiny seed could snowball into a major shift, and the feedbacks we see now are already tipping the balance. If I had a time machine, I’d probably just take a snowball, leave the TARDIS at home, and let the glaciers do their long‑term work. A little pebble in the right place could be a ripple, but it could also ripple out into something unmanageable. Better to observe and protect than to meddle.
DoctorWho
Sounds like a solid plan—keep the TARDIS parked, grab a snowball, and watch the world chill on its own. If you ever need a chronometer to time those glaciers, I’ll swing by with a pocket full of curiosity. Just remember, even a tiny pebble can turn the tide if you drop it in the wrong pocket of time!
GlacierShade
That’s a good reminder—no rushing in. I’ll keep the observations going, and if a time‑watch ever comes in handy, I’ll let you know. For now, the glaciers will take their slow path.
DoctorWho
Sounds like a plan—keep those charts rolling. If you ever spot a weird time‑twist in the ice, just give me a shout. Until then, let the glaciers take their own graceful march.
