    Life would be a lot more fun without fall damage.

    In movies, aliens seem so unified as a species. Humans can't even agree on how to write the date.

    In the Star Wars universe, are there just random lasers zooming around the galaxy (from all of the missed shots from battles in space)?

    A bowling alley is a pretty bad place to serve finger foods.

    To a point. They are reduced by the inverse square law over distance. Not sure what the calculation for fall off would be.

    Does that work for plasma energy?
    A blaster (including those on space ships) are any type of ranged weapon that fired bolts of intense plasma energy, often mistaken as lasers. Operating under the same principles as laser weaponry, blasters converted energy-rich gas to a glowing particle beam that could melt through targets.

    I dunno. I assume all condensed energy that is put in a linear motion would have a degraded effect. It is not condensing like when planets spin, so there would be fall off.

    That's what I'm wondering. Is it considered a solid object? My understanding is in space, solid objects fly forever unless they run into something or a strong gravitational pull affects them.

    Solar wind is plasma, if I am not mistaken, and it dissipates or is subject to the same inertia/gravity effects and energy has, so I think it would be subject to inverse square law. And now I have to go look this up....

    Luke Skywalker joined the Rebellion because he saw a 10 second video and thought his sister was hot.

    The difference between being sad and depression is sort of like the difference between the weather and climate.

    Even though it’s sometimes appropriate, typing ‘that that’ back to back never feels right.

    People would buy anything for $0.99, as long as it's not a mobile app.
