Maximum7 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 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 Ezra and Thrawn. That story will be told in the future. I want something unique but also a science that my scientist can study as his main work. Not an invention.

Maximum7 Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 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.

Maximum7 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 I’m thinking about doing something related to Hyperspace.

There would be plenty of people studying stuff that their current civilization doesn't know or pursuing their own projects of interest. Also, with 10s of thousands of years of galactic history, archaeology would still be interesting if you gave it the right spin or some awesome artifact, so, I think you gave that idea a bad pass, but do as you will.

Maximum7 Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 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). However, in the mean time; I wonder what other things my scientist can study about it. Applications I’ve considered would be a sub-hyperdrive which would allow for instantaneous travel like Star Trek: Discovery’s Spore Drive. It also could be used for instant communications. Good stuff but too much of a gamechanger to tinker with. What else could my scientist be studying about sub-hyperspace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximum7 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 I’m going about this all wrong. I need an advanced but totally BORING detail intensive thing for my scientist to be studying.

Maximum7 Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 I’m looking for a site or a blog that is futurist/sci fi based and does a “Future Science or Technology of the Week” feature, where they postulate a future science concept or invention and then briefly talk about it. I watch Isaac Arthur every Thursday but I’m looking to supplement it with something less broad. It would be like “Future Technology 1-Jetpack”. Something simple like that. Amateur blogs and sites are extremely welcome. The more obscure the better; but I am looking for highly creative ideas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximum7 Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 I’m trying to think of the perfect technology for a scientist in Star Wars to be looking to create. I’ve been editing this list for months. The list is long but it’s full of interesting ideas. Some of them don’t pertain to Star Wars ( so filter those out) and can you pick one (or mutiple ones) that would “fit” into Star Wars without being a game changer for the story, be disruptive to the Force, not be something that could be created easily based on existing tech, not something that isn’t worth creating and something that could be useful. Pick only from the list. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hypothetical_technologies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximum7 Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Which would be the hardest for a scientist to do? You can pick more than one but not too many.

Atmosphere bubble tent- To be used in emergencies to survive on planet with no atmosphere 31.) Brain graft- Grafting foreign brain tissue onto other brain. 32.) Upload fake memories into brain 33.) Memory regeneration- Retrieve old memories in brain 34.) Planetary motor- Giant device that can change a planets spin. 35.) Artificial gyrification- Artificial Neural stem cells which cause brain to develop more folds and increase intelligence. 36.) Travel to spinning Black hole for time travel 37.) Mind control (through technological means) 38.) Unified field theory- Theory combining all the forces of nature (except the Force of course) 39.) Scramjet- They probably have this. Idk why I included it but https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scramjet 40.) Destroying a Black hole 41.) Claytronics- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claytronics Edited January 3, 2020 by Maximum7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
