Does time dilation exist in Star Wars?

Does time dilation exist in Star Wars?

Albert Einstein theorized that time is not constant, it’s relative to velocity and gravity. Time dilation has never been referenced in any of the Star Wars movies, and Kylo’s stream of thought tells us this is only a rumor, just “whispers” he’s heard now and again.

Can a Jedi time travel?

The Force transcends time and space, as proven by the numerous Force-users who have experienced visions of the past or the future. All this establishes a clear precedent for a living Jedi to be able to find union with the Force, and somehow use it for time travel. And that is where the World Between Worlds comes in.

Who theorized time dilation?

Albert Einstein
Time dilation is a physical effect first theorized by Albert Einstein in the 20th century.

What happens when you get stuck in hyperspace?

In Star Wars, the hyperdrive is that outside force. So, if a vessel is in hyperspace, and suffers a failure of its hyperdrive that disables the function of dropping back to real space, the vessel will remain in hyperspace ad infinitum.

How does hyperspace travel work?

Traveling in hyperspace allowed for what was effectively faster-than-light travel relative to normal space. Hyper space was organized into discrete bands, with each band corresponding to a lower point-to-point distance compared to normal space.

Is it dangerous to go through hyperspace?

But going to hyperspace is not without its dangers. “Traveling through hyperspace ain’t like dusting crops,” as Han Solo explains. “Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova.”

Is it possible to travel through hyperspace without violating relativity?

There are ways in which traveling through hyperspace would not require a violation of relativity, though. The idea that two points in real space are connected by a “tunnel” taking advantage of additional dimensions is not unheard of in physics theories. These connections between points in space-time are called wormholes.

How does gravity affect hyper space?

Gravity affects hyper space such that it is impossible to travel inside a certain radius of any massive object, such as a star or the Tellerman wave, while in hyperspace. Attempting to do so would result in complete destruction of the transiting ship from gravimetric shear.
