Facts Star Wars Gets WRONG About Space. One of the most successful science fiction franchises of all time is Star Wars. Although the first Star Wars movie hit theaters way back in 1.

Its success makes sense: who doesn’t love watching big space battles where good vs evil blast at each other with that signature “pew pew” sound? However, there’s a long- held argument that Star Wars is more fantasy than sci- fi. This is mostly due to the fact that a lot of the science in the Star Wars films makes no sense. This doesn’t mean that the movies aren’t entertaining, but for those familiar with astronomy and physics, many scenes are downright cringeworthy in just how wrong they are.

Scientists such as Neil de. Grasse Tyson continue to point out all of these scientific errors, much to the chagrin of diehard fans. The most erroneous scenes of Star Wars, though, involve space and how physics and matter operate in the vacuum of this environment. Sure, those spaceships dogfighting in a sea of stars look really cool, as do all of the explosions and sounds, but the truth is that these scenes are highly inaccurate when it comes to actual science.

Here are the 1. 5 Facts Star Wars Gets Completely WRONG About Space. Watch The Book Of Daniel Online. Weapons that shoot fireball- like projectiles would not work in space. One thing that Star Wars gets wrong about space is the way that its battles are depicted.

Sure, it looks really cool when a spaceship explodes into a fiery ball, but that’s just for show, because in the vacuum of space where there is no atmosphere, fireballs are not likely.“The ships must contain oxygen for their occupants to breathe,” Michael A. Dexter of Ape Culturewrites. Also, fire requires oxygen to burn. Typically, when a Star Wars ship is hit, it explodes and burns brightly for several seconds. In reality, the available oxygen would be used up almost instantly, and the fireballs would be snuffed out almost immediately. Instead of a brightly- burning fireball, you’d probably see a brief flash followed by pieces of the ship flying off in all directions.”This means that the weapons that blast fireballs would have the same problem.

No oxygen in space means that fire is not possible. Spaceships wouldn’t fall down when hit. Something that George Lucas and Star Wars filmmakers seem to forget often is that there is no gravity in space. That means that, if a spaceship gets hit in space, it’s not going to fall down because there is no gravity. Yet, it happens often in the movies: a ship gets hit, falls, and usually crash lands on a planet. When a group of astronomers got together to watch the Star Wars movies for The Daily Dot, they found these scenes laughable.“That’s right,” Cynthia Mc. Kelvey writes. “Gravity’s not really a thing in space.

Even when the ships are fighting above a planet, it doesn’t make sense that a ship would suddenly fall straight down toward the planet as if it suddenly realized the planet has gravity. Watch The Lord Of The Rings HIGH Quality Definitons on this page. The ship should, if anything, be pushed in the direction of the impact.”1. Hyperdrive is scientifically impossible. Hyperdrive is a nice concept and all, and it comes in handy when characters in a movie need to traverse a great deal of space in a short amount of time. Everything in space is already so far apart that it makes sense that spaceships need a way of traveling faster than the speed of light to get from point A to point B.

The only problem is that something like hyperdrive is theoretically impossible because it involves traveling through hyperspace.“Hyperdrive allows you to access hyperspace— that’s a whole other dimension,” University of Berkeley astronomy graduate student Chelsea Harris says. In terms of the science, that’s pretty hypothetical.”In addition to this, based on current scientific knowledge, faster than light travel still isn’t theoretically possible.

The asteroids in asteroid fields aren’t grouped so close together. One of the most nail- biting moments in many sci- fi movies is when a spaceship gets caught in an asteroid field and must carefully traverse the field without crashing into large pieces of rock. Watching Han Solo carefully navigate the Millennium Falcon through an asteroid field where there are a lot of near- misses always keeps viewers on the edges of their seat. Except, in reality, asteroid fields don’t really look like this.

Real asteroid fields are more spread out, meaning that the asteroids are not really grouped that close together. Asteroids are usually pretty small, too, meaning that a spaceship could easily move around an asteroid field.“If you’re going through the Main Belt of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter in our own solar system, it’s unfortunately not at all like that movie,” astronomer Carrie Nugent says to Inverse. There’s a lot of asteroids there, but they’re very small and they’re very spread apart.”1. You can’t hear explosions (or any sound) in space.

Star Wars is not just a visual treat for the eyes, but it is also an audio adventure for the ears. From the “pew pew” sounds that blasters make to the large booming explosion of the Death Star, sound is an important part of each film in the franchise. For example, imagine the scene of the Death Star exploding, but instead of the loud boom, it’s silent with no music or sound. There’s just an explosion (which probably wouldn’t look as fiery, considering the lack of oxygen in space that fire requires to burn), but it’s not audible. That’s the reality of space: the vacuum of space means that nothing makes any kind of noise at all within it. Sound waves travel by making molecules vibrate. In space, though, there are no molecules for sound to vibrate off of.

You can’t see the path of a laser beam. Anyone who has ever used a laser pointer to entertain their cat is pretty aware of how a laser works. After the laser gets activated, a small dot appears where the laser beam gets scattered by a surface. The laser beam itself is not visible, and if it does not strike a surface, there is nothing to see at all. Yet, in Star Wars, lasers clearly have long beams that extend from the devices that emit them.“The only way you would see a laser being fired between two ships is if the air were full of large particles (dust, water droplets, etc),” The Collapsed Wavefunctionwrites. If that were the case the lasers would do no damage– all the laser light has been scattered.”9. There is no way to make the Kessel Run in less than 1. When Han Solo bragged about the Millennium Falcon, either he was mistaken or just outright lying.

In A New Hope, he said that he made the Kessel Run in “less than 1. A parsec is a measure of distance, not of time.

Star Wars fans tried to explain this, though, by saying that the Kessel Run involves passing through an area of space full of black holes– more powerful ships can take a more direct route through that region.“So Han’s ship was able to make it through an area of space full of black holes using a path under 1. The Collapsed Wave Functionwrites. Makes sense, right? The problem with this explanation is that parsec is a measurement of distance used in astronomy, and they only care about very large distances.

Even assuming faster than light travel, that’s a stretch that the fastest route through a black hole mine field is that long.”8. Invisible force fields could not stop visible laser beams. Several Star Wars movies have shown battle scenes that involve both laser beams and invisible force fields. The bad guys usually drive up in their war machines and try to shoot at the good guys with lasers. However, the good guys typically have force fields that protect them from the laser beams, which usually just bounce off the invisible force field. Invisible force fields aren’t necessarily the stuff of fiction.

Scientists even think that Earth has an invisible force field surrounding it that protects it from “killer electrons.” That’s no stretch of the imagination. However, lasers are light, and light is visible. Anything that stops visible light will stop a laser.
