Star Wars has many technological and scientific ideas that are inspired from real life. Many futuristic technologies are shown in the film, some of which may already exist and others that are still in development. This article will look at some of these technology. This article will also address how these technologies could impact everyday life in the near future.
Lightsaber
Star Wars fans will be familiar with the lightsaber technology. This fictional weapon was one the most iconic inventions ever made. Lightsabers are even more famous than laser guns and hyperdrives. Millions of people have probably wondered how to make one. Though we're still far from the technology we need to make a real lightsaber, some scientists have come close.
Laser cannons
There are many ships in the Star Wars universe that have laser cannons. Some of these ships include the T-65B X-wing starfighter, the BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter, the Millennium Falcon, and the Patrol Transports of Coruscant. T-4a and Venator classes attack/transport satellites are also available.
Levitation
In Star Wars, levitation is possible using the Force Trainer. This device uses brainwaves to levitate a sphere. It is impossible to levitate a sphere on Mars or Venus.
Cryonics
Star Wars cryonics is a concept that has been around for many decades. In short, the idea involves a frozen human being waking up to a different world. H.G. Wells in The Sleeper Wakes.
Sublight drives
In the Star Wars universe, sublight drives have a number of benefits. They are lightweight and have high power-to-weight ratios. They can also be used to lift and move objects. They are used primarily on Imperial Star Destroyers, TIE fighters, and for towing damaged vessels. They can also be used to slow down ships, which is an offensive use. Deflector shields can be fitted to some vessels, which counter the effects from laser weaponry.
Hyperdrives
Hyperdrives, a powerful technology for launching ships into hyperspace, are used. Hyperspace refers to an extradimensional dimension of spacetime where objects can travel more quickly than the speed at which light travels. Hyperdrives make use of gamma radiation to cause ripples in space-time, which causes the ship to accelerate.
Multi-colored Holograms
Holograms may be multicolored. This is what they look like in Star Wars films. But color holograms cost a lot and are rarely used in reality. They are very difficult to produce and they cannot be easily transmitted due to the laws of quantum Entanglement. Star Wars fans will still be able to see holograms in all angles thanks to the multicolored effect.
