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.
