In the Star Wars franchise, many scientific and technological concepts are inspired by real life. The film shows some futuristic technologies that may exist, while others are still under development. This article will take a look at some of these technologies. This article will also address how these technologies could impact everyday life in the near future.
Lightsaber
If you're a fan of the Star Wars universe, you probably have a fascination with lightsaber technology. This fictional weapon was among the most iconic technology ever invented. Even better than hyperdrives, laser guns, and killer robots with artificial intelligence, lightsabers were so recognizable that millions of fans probably wondered how to make them. Although we're far from being able to make real lightsabers, some scientists have made significant progress.
Laser cannons
There are many ships in the Star Wars universe that have laser cannons. The T-65BX-wing starfighter is one example. The Venator-class attack/transport spaceship and the T-4a are two others.
Levitation
In Star Wars, levitation is possible using the Force Trainer. This device uses brainwaves for levating a sphere. It is not possible to Levitate Mars or Venus.
Cryonics
Star Wars cryonics is a concept that has been around for many decades. The basic idea is that a frozen person can wake up and discover a new world. H.G. Wells first proposed this idea in 1899. Wells, in his short story The Sleeper Awakens.
Sublight drives
Sublight drives offer many benefits in Star Wars. They offer a high power/weight ratio and can be used in picking up and moving items. They are used primarily on Imperial Star Destroyers, TIE fighters, and for towing damaged vessels. They can be used to slow down fast ships and can even be offensively. To counter the effects laser weaponry, some vessels have deflector shields.
Hyperdrives
Hyperdrives, a powerful technology for launching ships into hyperspace, are used. Hyperspace is an extradimensional dimension within space-time, where objects can travel faster that the speed of light. Hyperdrives use radiation from gamma to create ripples that cause ships to accelerate.
Multi-colored Holograms
Holograms can come in multiple colors, as seen in Star Wars films. However, color holograms are very expensive and are not widely used in real life. They are not easy to manufacture and can't be transmitted because of the laws associated with quantum entanglement. However, the multi-colored effect will allow Star Wars fans to see the holograms at any angle without having to view them in black and white.
