The Physics of Star Wars: The Science Behind a Galaxy Far, Far Away by Patrick Johnson

5.0

I love that the author is both a scientist and a Star Wars fan. He compares the physics of Star Wars to real-world physics. While he concludes that much of what happens in Star Wars is not feasible in our world, it is a great way to introduce real-world physics to others. He breaks it down into sections which makes this a fast and relatively easy read. He keeps the explanations relatively simple, although he also introduces equations and concepts that allow the reader to pursue further study on their own. I think a physics class from him would probably be enlightening and entertaining.
