I found this awesome light fixture by Orren Ellis on Wayfair to hang over his window seat. I love how it creates the illusion of a night sky. It’s the perfect shade of moody classic navy and matches the blue in the wallpaper perfectly. We painted the ceiling, around the window frame, and the inside of the built-in bookcases that are flanking the window in Sherwin Williams Naval. I’ve seen a lot of amazing Star Wars themed wall decals while browsing on Wayfair, Etsy, and Pottery Barn Kids. However, you can achieve a similar look with wall decals. Wallpaper can be pricey and is a big commitment. It came in black, silver, and navy and I decided to go with navy which fit the overall color scheme of the room best. It features several of the Star Wars ships including X-wings, Snowspeeders, the Millennium Falcon. I found this amazing wallpaper by York Wallcoverings on Wayfair. I am lucky to have a talented designer friend to help me with his bedroom, and I’m so happy with how it turned out!
But, to be a research physicist - in industry or academia - you need to show some imagination, to think outside the box, and this is certainly something that the module allows our students to practice."Īnother member of the student team, Joshua Argyle, 22, from Leicester, said: "The resultant effects we worked out were based on Einstein's theory of special relativity, so while we may not be used to them in our daily lives, Han Solo and his crew should certainly understand its implications."Ĭo-author Katie Dexter, 21, from Kettering, said: "Perhaps Disney should take the physical implications of such high speed travel into account in their forthcoming films.I also feel that Star Wars is a classic theme that he can hopefully enjoy throughout his entire childhood. Our fourth years are nothing if not creative. The findings appear in the University of Leicester's Journal of Physics Special Topics.Įach year the journal features original short papers written by students in the final year of their four-year Master of Physics degree.Ĭourse leader Dr Mervyn Roy said: "A lot of the papers published in the Journal are on subjects that are amusing, topical, or a bit off-the-wall. On top of this, the ship would need something to protect the crew from harmful X-ray radiation." One of the students, Riley Connors, 21, from Milton Keynes, said: "If the Millennium Falcon existed and really could travel that fast, sunglasses would certainly be advisable. The ship's engines would need extra power to overcome this pressure, the calculations suggest. The classic opening scene from Star Wars IV: A New HopeĪs a result of the Doppler shift the spaceship would be bombarded by intense X-rays, exerting a pressure strong enough to slow it down. The CMB is radiation left behind by the Big Bang that gave birth to the universe. The luminous disc would be due to Cosmic Microwave Background radiation being shifted into the visible part of the light spectrum.
This is due to the Doppler effect - the same effect that causes a police car siren to increase in pitch as it approaches. There would be no sign of stars because the wavelength of their light would be shortened to the invisible X-ray range, say the team of four young scientists from the University of Leicester. Racing through hyperspace at near light speed, the ship's crew sees the stars appear to radiate out from a central point and stretch past them.īut in reality, the view through the Millennium Falcon's cockpit window would probably consist of a fuzzy luminous fog surrounding a bright central disc.
The "hyperdrive" featured in Star Wars enables Han Solo's Millennium Falcon spaceship to take short cuts between stars through a higher dimension of space. IN Star Wars, there is no mistaking the dramatic effect of making the "jump to hyperspace" as stars appear to rush past like streaking meteors.īut if it were possible, the reality of interstellar travel would be a lot less spectacular, according to a group of student physicists.
