Although
scientists can create artificial skin and accelerate bone healing with
tiny bubbles filled with genetic material, modern medicine is limited in
the ability to replicate the marvels of the Star Wars universe
like Carbonite and Bacta Tanks. Watch as the host attempts to simulate a
real-life Bacta tank using a chemical that can absorb water 200-300
times its own mass in water.
About Science and Star Wars
Science and Star Wars is a new digital series from Disney Digital Network and Lucasfilm that explores the science of the Star Wars
universe, just how close real-world scientists are coming to emulate
the technology, and the role of the franchise in inspiring some of
science’s greatest innovations.
Over the course of 10 episodes, host Anthony Carboni and his rotating roster of scientific experts and celeb guests will experiment with technology that isn’t actually
so far, far away anymore (think: Jedi mind control and lightsabers).
Each episode will explore one scientific theme, including Droids and
Basters. Episodes can be found exclusively on the Star Wars official Facebook page.
