The Science of Star Wars: The Scientific Facts Behind the Force, Space Travel, and More! by Mark Brake

Discover the science behind the most popular sci-fi franchise of all time!

We marvel at the variety of creatures and technology and the mystery behind the force. But how much of the Star Wars world is rooted in reality? Could we see some of the extraordinary inventions materialize in our world? This uncomplicated, entertaining read makes it easy to understand how advanced physics concepts, such as wormholes and Einsteins theory of relativity, apply to the Star Wars universe.

The Science of Star Wars Reviews

If youve ever wondered how life could arise on Tatooine or how likely it is that theres a cantina full of aliens somewhere in our galaxy, The Science of Star Wars is for you.
San Francisco Book Review

A real treat, with many moments of epiphany lurking between the pages . . . Offers much more than just the scientific facts.
Labtimes

A gloriously fascinating look into that galaxy far, far away!
Professor Lewis Dartnell, University of Westminster, New York Times bestselling author of The Knowledge

As a longtime Star Wars maniac, Id like to recommend Mark Brake and Jon Chases The Science of Star Wars: The Scientific Facts Behind the Force, Space Travel, and More! for the geek on your Christmas list. The book is divided into sections on space travel, space, aliens, tech, and bio-tech, with each addressing the scientific feasibility of the Star Wars universe, from faster than light travel to the nature of the Force itself. Written in a clear, friendly style, reading The Science of Star Wars is like sitting down for a conversation with a super geeky scientist friend.
Unbound Worlds

Using the basic principles of mathematics and science, author Mark Brake and science presenter Jon Chase have unlocked some of the secrets behind the George Lucas films, and have concluded that The Force might not be complete fantasy.
Telegraph

A fairly easy read in the sense that simple language is used to explain what can at times be fairly complex concepts . . . Its certainly best enjoyed by anyone with a bent towards the stars and how they stay up there. . . . For the right fan, it would be an excellent Christmas present.
