Do any of you recall reading a Star Wars book (Legends or Canon) where you recall them implying or downright stating something that could NOT be achieved with their current science and technology

I have two examples from Legends I found. One was in Tatooine Ghost, where a dehydrated Han Solo remarked that with all the “eggheads” in the galaxy; none of them could create a substitute for water in humans in a pill or injection

Also in another book, the Hapan Prince Isolder said that telescopes aren’t powerful enough to see people as they were hundreds of years ago on distant planets

However, I think nu-canon telescopes can probably do that.

Anything else?

I’m obsessed with sci-fi novums and I am a huge Star Wars and Star Trek fan. I’m looking for an amateur blog that every week (or every month) postulates a future/sci-fi tech, science, idea or concept. I already watch Isaac Arthur but I need something I can read.

'''Goku's power levels through Dragonball, Z and Super'''

*I am not including every appearance of his power, only major moments and the Kaio-Ken will not be included till I get to Dragonball Super. I am using established power levels and of course my own estimates

Tell me what you guys think.

Goku (baby)- 2

Goku (beginning of Dragonball)- 10

Goku (after training with Master Roshi) -180

Goku (after Ultra Divine Water)- 260

Goku (against Piccolo Jr.)- 338

*First estimation. Taking the previous power level with the latter one and used the median

Goku (against Raditz)- 416

Goku (after training with King Kai)- OVER 9,000!

*I like 9000 better than 8,000

Goku (against the Ginyu Force)- 90,000

Goku (against Frieza)- 3,000,000

Super Saiyan Goku- 150,000,000

Goku (return to Earth)- 4,000,000

*Goku had only been gone for a year and a half and trained minimally. He only probably progressed slightly as he was probably focusing on learning Instant Transmission

Goku (3 years later)- 7,000,000

*3 years of regular training.

Full Power Super Saiyan Goku- 700,000,000

*Goku trained in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber intensely to master the Super Saiyan transformation. Since SSJ multiplier is x50, I figured full power would be 100x. And 700 million fits perfectly as Cell was said to be at his full power-weighted form at 900 million

Goku (7 years later)- 24,000,000

*Goku spent training intently for 7 long years and having a dead body without any restriction was able to push him beyond his limit.

Goku (Super Saiyan)- 1,200,000,000

*50x

Goku (Super Saiyan 2) -2,400,000,000

*Super Saiyan 2 is double power output

Goku (Super Saiyan 3)- 9,600,000,000

*SSJ3 is 4x

Goku (last Zenkai)- 30,000,000

*After losing to Beerus, this is the last time Goku's power increased after near-fatality, as once you become a God, your power operates on a whole different level and genetics reach its limit

Goku Super Sayian God- 30,000,000,000

*x1000 in my humble opinion

Goku (after absorbing God Ki and training with Whis)- 15,000,000,000

*After tasting the power of a God and training with it, Goku's increase of power is far greater than any previous training before and his strength skyrockets.

Super Saiyan Blue Goku- 22,500,000,000,000

*Things get ridiculous

Goku (3 year training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber)- 20,000,000,000

*Goku trained with Vegeta a fellow pseudo-God for the equivalent of 3 years. This is Goku's very prime

Goku (Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken)- 45,000,000,000,000

*x1.5

Goku (Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken x20)- 600,000,000,000,000

*x20

Goku (Ultra Instinct Mastered)- 20 to the 16th power

*My calculator couldn't do this but I think Ultra Instinct multiplier is x1,000,000. This is Goku at his strongest.

Goku (10 years later)- 17,000,000,000

*Akira Toriyama said Goku's power decreased as he aged, but he's still pretty damn strong as he keeps training no matter what to one day fight Majin Buu reincarnated.

Thoughts? Disagree?, Agree?

Note: I am NOT a fan of power levels estimation in ridiculous numbers

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 what I really meant. So that being said I ask. What can an engineer in the Star Wars galaxy be working on?. He works for the canon New Republic.

Things he can’t be working on

1.) Dyson sphere- Believe it or not it already exists in SWTOR

2.) Matrioksha Brain- Computers aren’t that advanced. (HOWEVER, if you have a generic Star Wars name for this- I will take it. Matrioksha is Russian nesting dolls and would obviously not be applicable for Star Wars

3.) A Giant Underground City- Sullust has tons of these.

4.) Kransnikov Tube- Would be too much of a gamechanger for travel

5.) Ford-Svaitar mirror- Too much of a gamechanger for travel

6.) Nicoll-Dyson Laser- We already have the Death Star and Starkiller Base

7.) Space elevator- They have those

8.) Shellworld- Waste of time. Plenty of planets to work with

9) Alderton Disk- Too big

10.) Ringworld- Exists on Ringo Vinda

11.) Underwater cities- Plenty of those

12.) Any type of space habitat.

Any ideas?

Ok 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?

I decided extragalactic science; stuff outside the main galaxy would be a good venue. Based on astronomical ideas, what odd and unusual objects might a scientist encounter in the starless void of space in between galaxies? Creative ideas welcomed!

I’m making one last round on all the forums I posted on. I’m looking for something highly advanced.

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.

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.

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?
