Jeanne Cavelos says, "Star Wars fueled my interest in space exploration and the possibility of alien life," leading her to a career in astrophysics. While these movies have inspired her, she admits that may not have been their intention.
In creating the part science fiction/part fantasy/part myth that is Star Wars, George Lucas did not seek to create a futuristic universe that agreed perfectly with our current understanding of science.... How realistic, how possible, is this galaxy far, far away?
The answer when A New Hope first came out was "not at all." But a strange thing has happened in the years since Star Wars first came out. Science is beginning to catch up with George Lucas.
Cavelos looks at Lucas's planets, aliens, droids, technology, and Force with both rationality and affection. The droids R2-D2 and C-3P0, among others, become more interesting and almost credible after her consideration.
The element of Star Wars that is most true to science is the sense of wonder it calls forth, which has very little to do with how close it is to a possible future. Or, as Steve Grand, director of the Cyberlife Institute, said to Cavelos: "I never try to let scientific implausibility get in the way of a good story!" --Mary Ellen Curtin
Book Description
Former NASA astrophysicist Jeanne Cavelos examines the scientific possibility of the fantastical world of Star Wars. She explains to non-technical readers how the course of science might soon intersect with such fantasies as interstellar travel, robots capable of thought and emotion, habitable alien planets, bizarre intelligent life forms, high-tech weapons and spacecraft, and advanced psychokinetic abilities. She makes complex physics concepts, like quantum mechanics, wormholes, and Einstein's theory of relativity both fascinating and easy to comprehend. The Science of Star Wars does for Star Wars what Lawrence Krauss's bestselling The Physics of Star Trek did for the Star Trek universe.
Cavelos answers questions like:
* How might spaceships like the Millennium Falcon make the exhilarating jump into hyperspace?
* Could a single blast from the Death Star destroy an entire planet?
* How close are we to creating robots that look and act like C-3PO and R2-D2?
* Could light sabers possibly be built, and if so, how would they work?
* Do Star Wars aliens look like "real" aliens might?
* What kind of environment could spawn a Wookie?
* What would living on a desert planet like Tatooine be like?
* Why does Darth Vader require an artificial respirator?
* Can we access a "force" with our minds to move objects and communicate telepathically with each other?

Not so long or so far away, some of it could happen.......2005-02-06
Quality entertainment is its' own reward, so in many ways the plausibility of the scenarios is not an overriding concern. However, there is a threshold of believability that cannot be crossed, for if it is, it can cease to be entertainment. The quality of the entertainment has a great deal to do with the location of the threshold, if the story is very good, the bar is higher, but for a mediocre story it can be much lower. In the Star Wars movies, the bar is generally considered pretty low, as most people who watch them are fairly uncritical of the scientific basis for the events. George Lucas was brilliant when he opened the series with the phrase, " A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away." This is equivalent to the classic "Once upon a time" opening to fairy tales. By immediately giving the Star Wars events the status of a fairy tale, Lucas provides himself with a great deal of scientific poetic license in his Star Wars movies.
However, there are always people who examine the actions on the screen and consider the plausibility based on the current theories of science. In this book Cavelos critically examines the major events in the Star Wars series from the perspective of modern science. The opening chapter is a discussion of the major environments where the action takes place. It starts with the questions concerning how prevalent planets are in the universe. In this case, recent research indicates that there are an enormous number of planets, so the focus moves to planets that could support life, in particular, human life. Here, the odds drop substantially, as the range of temperature, gravity and atmosphere that humans can function in is in all cases very narrow. The existence of specific planets such as Tatooine with its' two suns, the moon "planets" of Endor and Yavin and the ice planet Hoth are all seriously examined. Given the constant number of new surprises that the study of planets in our solar system has provided, while unlikely, most of these environments cannot be ruled out.
Chapter two, which deals with the characteristics of alien life forms, was my favorite. Many of the main species, such as the Wookies, Hutts, Banthas, Jawas, and Ewoks are examined from a biological perspective. How their bodies are constructed and if they could function in their environment makes an interesting exercise in comparative biology. By examining Jar Jar Binks, one can reach many conclusions concerning how his species functions. This is a chapter that would make an excellent study topic in high school biology classes.
Chapters three and four deal with the technology, with chapter three devoted to the artificial intelligence (AI) of droids and four the technology of the spacecraft. Despite many problems in implementation, there appears to be no reason to doubt that droids with the capability of R2-D2 and C-3PO will eventually be constructed. However, the development of interstellar craft that travel through hyperspace will require substantial advancements in harnessing energy and the presence of scientific realities that we currently know nothing about.
The Force, that all-encompassing energy field, is the topic of the last chapter. It is also the most difficult to envision, although in many cases, it is just another name for God. The difference is of course that using the force would mean that an individual could channel the power of God for their own purposes, independent of the goodness rating of the action. Extra-sensory perception and the current "evidence" for it are also examined.
I am a devoted fan of Star Wars, and as I scientist I recognize when scientific laws are broken on the screen. Nevertheless, it was a very fun book to read, because there is scientific evidence that indicates that some of what happens in these movies could actually take place.
STAR WARS COULD HAPPEN!!?.......2001-09-25
What I loved about the Star Wars saga is the fact that travel
across the galaxy is as commonplace and taken for granted as
car and air travel is today. And I love the alien world our
heroes visit like the Fourth Moon of Yavin,the Moon of Endor,
Tatooine,Hoth,Bespin,Dagobah and Coruscant.
This book explores the possibility of rapid interstellar travel
and alien planets and extraterrestrial life and the even how to
build lightsabers and blasters with incredible detail. Cavelos
explains that such breaktroughs may or may not happen in a few
thousand years. Who knows what breaktroughs humanity will make?
We may not be at war with aliens or other civilizations and I
hope it won't happen. But I do hope that someday people will be
able to travel to other solar systems and galaxies as quickly
and easily as crossing our oceans. Cavelos gives interesting
detail on wormholes,warp drives,and even what it would be like
to travel at warp drive with the stars stretching into streaks
of light. That will be a very exciting time. I hope that galactic
travel and even intergalctic travel will be used for tourism as
well as exploration and colonization. People will travel to exotic planets and moons like Yavin 4,Endor,Hoth,Coruscant etc.
and even view our own galaxy from above as a glowing celestial
spiral. That would be a very exciting time!!Perhaps it
will happen in the next thousand years or so.
Very Good.......2000-10-18
I loved this book. Like all Star Wars books I read, I could barely put it down. The only reason it's not perfect is that the whole Star Wars series is very loosely based on science, so this book really has a very shaky fundamental basis. The fact that Jeanne Cavelos can write a great book around this weak foundation, though, is a testament to the skill with which the author writes.
Great Book.......2000-08-31
I am not a huge, or even big Star Wars fan (heck, I didn't even like the first one), but I loved this book. A great concept, very well done. I could not put it down.
Feels like a guilty pleasure, but enjoyable and thoughtful.......2000-07-10
Reading each chapter of "The Science of Star Wars" made me feel like I was indulging in a guilty pleasure, which is odd, since this is an informative look at science through the prism of the Star Wars movies.
The author has different chapters on planets, lifeforms, spaceships and weapons, droids, and the Force. Each chapter looks at the subject as depicted in the various movies, and then speculates on how likely the subject is scientifically. She has an open-mind; even when the subject seems to be scientifically inaccurate, she writes diplomatically that it seems unexplained, or needs some explanation beyond our understanding.
For the most part, she is a good writer. However, the book is sprinkled with repeated lame jokes about wishing bad things unto Imperial stormtroopers. It's kind of funny the first time, but after that, it becomes silly.
Also, the section discussing the Force delves into a heavy dose of quantum mechanics. There are no equations or diagrams, but it is an extended discussion, albeit at a layperson's level.
Finally, the paperback version contains an update based on "The Phantom Menace."
Book Description
Modern astronomical telescopes, along with other advances in technology, have brought the deep sky – star clusters, nebulae and the galaxies – within reach of amateur astronomers. And it isn’t even necessary to image many of these deep-sky objects in order to see them; they are within reach of visual observers using modern techniques and enhancement technology. The first requirement is truly dark skies; if you are observing from a light-polluted environment you need Tony Cooke’s book, Visual Astronomy in the Suburbs. Given a site with clear, dark night skies everything else follows… this book will provide the reader with everything he needs to know about what to observe, and using some of today’s state-of-the-art technique and commercial equipment, how to get superb views of faint and distant astronomical objects.
Customer Reviews:
A classic book.......2006-07-11
I bought both versions of this book by Sky Publishing. The revised / second edition is still limited by small illustrations but does a wonderful job of illustrating and describing the newer video technologies that now allow us to photograph faint objects like galaxies ,nebulae, supernova and comets. It still remains a very good reference to video imaging as an alternative and simple to apply medium although it would have been nice to see some more detail on the image processing techniques used by the authors and the many users of video in astronmy.
Good practical book for amateurs.......2005-02-27
This is a very useful book for those wanting to learn how to take pictures of the planets, the moon, the sun and even nebula and galaxies now with low-cost equipment. The revised edition better illustrates the current technolgy of webcams and video cameras used by amateurs today. There appear to be several new and replaced illustrations over the first edition with more up-to-date information etc. Unfortunately the book still presents many of the pictures in a smaller format like the original. Even so it still remains a great reference guide and better explores the use of video as a tool for imaging DSO's.
A Great Guide to Simple Imaging.......2002-08-14
We have had a telescope left unused in our back shed for many years because we had simply lost interest and time. A friend told us about the book Video Astronomy so we decided to buy it and try out the techniques. Both my husband and I were amazed that we could record the moon and some of the planets so effortlessly using low cost video cameras used for security. The book has a nice simple guide to building your own camera with parts you can find at a local electronics parts dealer. We did this and were delighted at how simple it was to use. Our interest in at least using our telescope has been renewed since reading this informative little book. We highly recommend it to anyone wanting to take pictures of the planets and the moon.
Handy Book.......2001-08-06
Since starting with video cameras a couple of years ago now using a 4-inch refractor I found this book very handy. It offers a lot of good tips and ideas. Some of the pictures could have been larger but the subject is well covered and easy to understand. A good all around book and addition to the library if you want to record the moon and planets with video gear you might already own.
Video astronomy review.......2001-05-29
This book is billed as "a complete guide to video astronomy." It does cover a fair amount but it is far from what it boasts. A complete guide should have much more then this book has. I am not a novice to the video astronomy field and I was looking for more information on many levels but this provided little for me. If you are a total novice to the ccd video field, you may enjoy this book. It is not a cookbook- leading through the video astronomy field step by step but it manages cover many of the basics. It covers many basics about equipment and other types of information.There are technical sections on the hardware which is probbaly the best part of the book. But you may soon find that you will have to find another book in the field to cover the gaps this book has. Missing are: (1) lack of information on hardware and software options for editing etc (there is very little in the way of information on any items besides snappy which out of business and other older products. While it is difficult to keep current much is missing in the way of resources that were avilable at the time the book was created. (2) asteroids and comet hunting is barely mentioned as are other topics which are targets for current and past CCD astronomy users. (3) some areas are too technical while other areas are not technical enough (4) Little is said about storage or transfer of ccd images (5) Little is said about the use of imaging editors, capture cards, software etc which is information you will need after you get your device or make on and then begin using it. (6) Little is mentioned about using the internet either to find addtional resources, posting your images, transferring images etc

From the supplier: City planners should plan ahead for the needs of telecommunications carriers, especially regarding permits for installing antennas for cellular telephones. Some city planners have overcome public opposition to unsightly cellular antennas by placing antennas in unseen locations. An American Planning Association survey of 355 planners revealed that 57% of planners lease space for wireless telecommunications on city-owned properties or in public rights-of-ways.

From the supplier: Computers capable of a wide range of functions are poised to become the next major communications innovation. Congress and the Supreme Court are already preparing new laws that will regulate the use of computers as mass media vehicles. In preparing such laws, Congress and Supreme Court must reexamine how it developed regulations for other mass media vehicles such as television and radio broadcasting. The new laws that will be introduced must be able to allow the optimal use of computers as mass media vehicles and at the same time protect personal rights and liberties.

From the supplier: The Cellular Telecommunications Industry Assn (CTIA) has requested of the Federal Communications Commission that state and local building and zoning regulations be preempted in the construction of wireless communications networks. The trade group made the request because it fears prevention of construction under the guise of local activism. Many planning and civic groups oppose the preemption, including the American Planning Assn, the National League of Cities and the US Conference of Mayors. The CTIA argues that the Communications Act of 1934 limits local and state regulation of mobile telecommunications services.
