Podcast Notes

  • Part C
    • Light Speed Travel
      • Faster then light travel in Star Wars is accomplished by transporting the vessel to near light speed and then jumping to a “Hyper Space” dimension where faster then light travel is possible.
      • In our universe an almost infinite amount of energy is required to go light speed.
      •  Possible if this “Hyper Space” is worm hole tunneling.
    • Prosthetics
      • Mechanics exist to make them work.
      • General Grievous.
      • Really great prosthetics but crappy looking trashcan robots exist in the same universe.
    • The “Force”
      • The force is actually the main character of SW. That’s why prequels suck.
      • It’s expressed in the Skywalker family as the balance of the force. The Skywalkers will be the unbalance AND balance in the force.
      • Fundamental problem with midichlorians – turns a mystic ‘non-scientific’ phenomenon into high school organic chemistry, but makes the force worthy of science or tech discussion.
      • Force as consciousness.
      • Is the “Force” possibility the control over dark matter/energy? 70% of the universe is supposedly dark matter/energy. Possible that The First Order from EP7 that they can control Dark Energy via the Star Killer Base and being able to stop light sabers.
