So Cronau radiation could be a form of ultra-high energy comic rays?

I know hyperdrives emit Cronau radiation but do they also emit cosmic rays? I ask because recently it was announced that scientists detected high energy cosmic rays with a ton of power. They are calling it the Amarestu particle (after the Japanese sun god) and it’s origin is a mystery. Some people j...

Um-sourcebook means it's RPG material. What do ou think sourcebooks are FOR? In order to move FTL you need a set of laws of physics other than the real world, where you simply CANNOT move FTL. I was thinking more like the Essential Guide to Vehicles and Incredible Cross-Sections not RPG Sourcebooks...

Well the class ratings are also in sourcebooks and (very rarely) novels

In order to move FTL you need infinite energy.

I was confused when Huyang said that their speed was decreasing in hyperspace. I know hyperdrives (or their organic Purgill analogs) have speed ratings. The Millennium Falcon is the fastest at Class 0.5. Most military ships have a Class 1 hyperdrive. Most civilian ships are Class 4 (quite slow) and ...

This awesome PSA from the 70's is super cool to watch. I love the retro-feel of all the electronics in the room and it kinda makes me think of Andor. It's driving me crazy but I can't figure out what C-3PO is working on in the beginning. It's a strange looking device and makes a bubbling sound. What...

I just read this article on Wookieepedia https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Solar_ionization_reactor It says Solar ionization reactors use hypermatter to create a miniature star to power Star Destroyers. Yet that doesn’t make any sense as they also have fusion reactors and a fusion reactor is a hypoth...

I was on Reddit discussing mental illness in Star Wars and someone pointed me to a source that I had long forgotten. The very first novel after the Great Purge; A New Dawn actually touched on mental illness, something I believe the Jedi either don't believe in or largely ignore. E.g. Anakin Skywalke...

First, your post is rambling. Second, have you looked up the speed of Proton Torpedoes? 2 seconds on google, and there is data on the parent website of this board. http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Tech/Torpedoes/Torpedo2.html The ones Luke fired were moving at about 1 km/second when they reached...

I've been hearing a lot about hypersonic missiles. Hypersonic is much faster than say an X-Wing, because in 1977, nobody knew ships could go that fast in atmosphere. An X-Wing can go faster than hypersonic in a vacuum but in atmo, the mph is actually lower than hypersonic. In the Prequels, Padme's N...

I’m trying to write a Star Wars story about someone who figures out a way to travel FTL between galaxies. Hyperspace doesn’t work in the Intergalactic Void, and there is a hyperspace disturbance at the edge of the galaxy blocking travel anyway. I was trying to think of an alternative method of trave...

Any evidence to suggest they have info on them like we do here on Earth?

I was reading the Star Wars YT-1300 Complete Reference Manual and it mentioned that their are some aspects of hyperspace that remain a mystery aside from those well-established facts acknowledged by all competent astrophysicists.

What could be one of the main mysteries? I can’t think of any.

Very interested in speculative science or tech and boredom since I still haven’t found a new job yet

Does anybody remember from Legends or Canon in a situation where a character downright stated or implied that something couldn’t be done scientifically? Here is a list of stuff I’ve gathered. 1.) Cybernetic liver- In Lost Stars, it was said Ciena’s liver could not be replaced as it was one of the fe...

1.) EMP repelling- Something you can put on electronics that makes it impervious to EMP attacks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse Hardening against EMP attacks is something we can do today; one assumes Star Wars can do the same and does so routinely in military and other critical...

That's just human behaviour. I don't recall the Foundation series having any aliens, so psychohistory was only shown to work on humans. So all the aliens in Star Wars would probably break it. 13.)Argon matrix laser- Laser weapon that only damages inorganic material Tell me more about how this opera...

1. This is a good question, as we see they have weaponized Ion Pulse weapons that shut down a ship entirely. Is this the same as EMP? 2. We have yet to see archaeological digs in movies, although there are such things in SWTOR. It is very possible they have access to carbon dating devices. 3. Anoth...

Yes I know in fiction; anything is possible but I'm looking at this from an in-universe point of view. Which of these would be hard to accomplish based on known Star Wars science capabilities? 1.) EMP repelling- Something you can put on electronics that makes it impervious to EMP attacks. https://en...

I’m looking for a blog to follow. Does anybody know of a good one. I watch Isaac Arthur and read Ella Alderson on Medium.

I’d like to follow a blog that talks about speculative tech and science every week or so. It should be ongoing as of December 2019

I can't begin to answer your question because I am way too distracted with trying to figure out how you managed to simultaneously create a thread AND respond to that thread with a quote of your previous post, in such a way that is breaking something deep in the forum's architecture (seemingly delet...

Is their any evidence in Legends or Canon that picotechnology or femtotechnology exists in Star Wars and just is never mentioned because it is not important to the story? Nanotech exists. It’s been mentioned many times and it makes no sense that scientists wouldn’t try to go smaller. Is their anythi...

I felt Episode 5 was a little weak.

Just use your intuiton 1.) Negative energy bubble- An alternative to Hyperspace. This is how the Alcubierre drive would work. 2.) Artificial cosmogenesis- This would be the creation of a new Star from scratch. 3.) Cosmic Ray sail- A sail ship that is powered by cosmic rays. 4.) Monopolium- https://...
