Sometimes the best sci-fi ideas are in books that nobody knows about. I was wondering if anybody came across an obscure sci-fi book that created its own field of fundamental science alongside electromagnetism, gravity and atoms. Can anyone think of any examples?
In the original Star Wars trilogy the holograms were blue and had scanlines. In the Force Awakens, Snoke communicates with Kylo Ren the hologram of Snoke is full color and almost like a real image. Obviously it’s fiction, but could we create a hologram like that someday that would be a perfect...
Scientists finally created a 2D Supersolid! There existence has been predicted since the 60’s and now we have them. The scientists who created it don’t really know what it could be used for as it’s so much in the infancy stages, it’s practically a zygote. As an aspiring futurist, I was wondering...
I have some NetGalleys I’m going to read and I usually read them on Pocketbook; but Pocketbook sometimes has this annoying habit of skipping entire chapters. I just found a kindle my mother got from a friend but it isn’t working and so I was going to read on my phone. Bluefire has also been...
Actually now I’m writing an essay on science and technodynamics in Star Wars. I wrote my Star Wars story. I haven’t typed it yet. It’s still being tweaked. I also can’t get it even looked at because LucasArts/Disney doesn’t take unsolicitated work 😔
I made a list of stuff that could be something a scientist can work on Star Wars. Tell me which one (or ones, you can pick more than one but not all) would probably still not exist by 35 ABY, the year the Rise of Skywalker takes place. I will provide links for stuff you may be unfamiliar with...
On the page below , I have been editing and adding different techs from my internet searches and Wikipedia searches. I know this list is long but I wonder if you could help me finally pick something. Of all the things on this list (including the redlinks), which one is best to explore in Star...
I watch Isaac Arthur every Thursday and he covers many sci-fi ideas and technologies, but he is very broad. John Michael Godier is also good but he has a very infrequent posting schedule for videos. What.If on Facebook postulates a hypothetical scenario every 2 days or so but a lot of is never...
I’m not going to think of technology but rather hard science.
What do you think are the greatest mysteries of science in the Star Wars galaxy? I think they probably know what dark matter and dark energy are since Starkiller Base is powered by it. They probably know what the full size of the...
I time managed very well when I was in college. I got all my work done. I don’t spend all my time on this; it’s just a hobby.
I can’t think of an idea on my own. Everything I come up with exists somewhere on Google. This site has given me good leads compared to other sites.
My new job should start in July. Their is no need to insult me.
Anyways, what I’m looking for is something that would take effort in the Star Wars galaxy. The Quintet Ion Engine is a great idea but it’s very easily doable. It’s not seen but engineers could most easily creat a TIE with 5...
Let’s say their is a galaxy or multi-galaxy civilization. FTL travel is mainstream and commonplace. The civilization has also mastered.
•Cold fusion reactors and room temperature superconductors
•Megastructures like a Dyson sphere, Matrioksha brain and Shakov thrusters.
• The full potential of...
I know I’ve been going nuts with these posts but I’m very curious about what a scientist could do in SW
I was asking for ideas on what a scientist could be working on in the Star Wars galaxy. However my list of can nots are more akin to what an engineer would be working on. Then I guess that’s...
I’m going about this all wrong. I need an advanced but totally BORING detail intensive thing for my scientist to be studying. I WANT to start my story and this detail is unimportant. Does anyone have some science gooblegook that sounds coherent that I can use?
Ok
my scientist is studying sub-Hyperspace, the dimension in which quintessence can be turned into Phantom Energy and then travel to destroy star systems in real time. This is how Starkiller Base fires it’s weapon after draining a sun. (I’m sure Disney will explore it more in due time)...
No. Why on Earth would I waste so much time on something if I didn’t plan to do it. Their would be nothing for me to gain. I like your Force Bubble idea by the way.
I decided that I’m going to have my scientist study an astrological body BUT it’s something that we haven’t identified in the real world. I’m no good at physics so I don’t know what kind of new astrological body I can make up. Does anybody have ideas for a fictional celestial body? Like...
No I plan to try and write this. Sorry I’ve been milking this thread. I’ll stop soon. I just need to find an idea that interests me for the scientist to be studying.
I’m thinking about doing something related to Hyperspace. What science can my scientist study about Hyperspace before he’s called away to deal with the supermassive black hole?
Wow. Nice. Thanks!!!
Someone on writingforums.org knocked some sense into me. The Star Wars galaxy has had 1,000’s of years to develop stuff so all science left to do is theoretical or observational. I’m going to have him study asteroids. Thanks for putting up with me.
No. Not trolling. Would never do that. I’m just a perfectionist. I’ve decided to use a supermassive black hole that is expanding as the main plot. I’m also writing a fantasy tale on the side but maybe sci fi isn’t the right thing for me even though I am obsessed with Star Wars.
Im going about this all wrong when it comes to asking what idea I want. Im looking for a science thing that my scientist could study. On Steven Jackson games forum, someone suggested the migration patterns of Purgills. It would have been perfect except for the fact that it might lead someone to...
My Star Wars story will now involve a scientist who is studying the ancient servers of the Holonet. As he learns about its beginnings, he thinks of ways he can make the Holonet better for everyone. What improvements can he make to the Holonet?
I decided to go with a quark star. It’s better than a black hole because we don’t even know if they exist. Perfect for expansion However, I still need something for him to be working on before he deals with the quark star. I’m looking not for a gadget or piece of tech. I’ve decided everything...
My idea was perfect. I got it from Mythic Scribes. Intermetallic energy alloy plating. Then I found something like that existed on Wookieepedia. I’m so pissed!!!! Why can’t I find an idea that works and hasn’t been done already?
Okay so my archeology idea didn’t work. My scientist is called upon by the New Republic to investigate why the supermassive black hole is more active than usual and sucking in things from a further range. I just need something for the scientist to be studying before he is called away. It has to...
