3... 2... 1... HYPERSPACE! We all know hyperspace, or light speed, as those lines that come up on the screen when Han Solo presses a certain button on the Millennium Falcon, but it actually has a lot more to it than that. The speed of light is the fastest speed ever seen or known to mankind. Light speed is approximately 22,320,000 miles per hour. When a Star Wars spacecraft jumps to "hyperspace", it begins to travel at the speed of light for a short period of time. A lot of things are wrong with this element, because when you travel at light speed, time completely STOPS, making the scenes where they are talking while traveling at light speed ENTIRELY IMPOSSIBLE. This fact also makes it impossible to stop traveling at light speed. Now light speed is fast, but not fast enough to travel to far away galaxies in less than 20 seconds. If this were possible, they would have to be traveling FASTER than the speed of light, which is also impossible.
