| Mar 24, 2017 at 9:22 | comment | added | Scott M. Stolz | Re; parsecs as a unit of time: Parsecs could actually represent how many jumps are made, and not how long it took. Since FTL travel in Star Wars involves hyperspace, and they have to avoid the gravity wells of planets and stars and other bodies and perhaps even other large ships (all of which are in motion), it means they have to have a precise route to avoid colliding with something. Perhaps the challenge was using the least amount of jumps around a densely occupied solar system or the shortest route, rather than the actual time it took. | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 9:06 | comment | added | Valorum | Luke tells C-3PO to "wait a second" in ANH. Assuming we take him completely literally, their seconds are 2-3 times longer than our own. | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 9:05 | comment | added | user931 | @Valorum Now, show me the definition of second too... :) | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 9:04 | comment | added | Valorum | We also know from ANH that they have minutes; imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-A-New-Hope.html | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 8:51 | comment | added | user931 | @Valorum It just says 1 year = 368 days and 1 day = 24 hours. It still doesn't say that 1 year is same if we don't have definition of fundamental unit. | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 8:48 | comment | added | user931 | @Valorum That World Building question is trying to use real world physics which is also not perfect. Midichlorian physics can be different. | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 8:38 | comment | added | Valorum | We also know that a "year" in Star Wars is essentially the same as a year in the real world; scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/5707/… | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 8:36 | comment | added | Valorum | The light year is a constant measurement. It's the distance light can travel in one year. Now, admittedly, light could travel much faster or slower in one universe or another but in order to get it high enough to make a difference (thousands of times faster) you'd have to fundamentally re-order physics in a way that makes life inpossible; worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/10126/… | |
