Cool all the fans Loved this book will take it.

preposterous is actually a legitimate field of science in ponyland.

@Background Pony #D591  
of course not, those are all well documented and studied phenomena

>Twilight says book has preposterous science
 
OH, and magical myth creatures, artifacts, archaic spell enchantings AND time travelling portals ISN’T preposterous??!!

Alicorn Aliens vs. Space Pirates  
I imagine a movie version would end up looking like this  
 

@Inkan1969  
Fair enough. For what it’s worth I tend to give Star Wars a pass because of the fantasy elements anyway. In fact, for the most part, I won’t usually break out the scientific implausibility talk (or I’ll at least restrain it) if I feel there was a good story reason for it or it’s clear the creator wasn’t trying to depict a realistic world. Or if it’s cool enough (because the trope exists for a reason, right?). It’s the ones that try to do realism and mess up that are my main concern.
 
But the real question I have now is, are the planets on the cover of that book orbiting the orange-ish gas giant looking one, that blue dot, or a star somewhere off the cover?

@Background Pony #76DA  
Oh, I have a physics degree, too. While I’d want the science to be accurate in a movie like “Gravity”, I’m not so sure if that should be as important in a “Star Wars” movie.

If I saw a book with that title I would read it in a heart beat. I hope someone at least makes a fanfiction interpretation of it.

@Inkan1969  

Hey, it can be hard to help sometimes. I’m willing to overlook a fair amount of stuff for entertainment, but I also have a degree in physics and I’ll tell you, if someone throws a hard to ignore, easily refuted, and/or blatantly wrong scientific element into a story that is supposed to represent reality, it can ruin any enjoyment I get out of the narrative, and end up being something I can’t not mention.

@Inkan1969  
So she’s Neil deGrasse Tyson, then?

@Background Pony #96C5  
She’s one of those nit pickers that insists the science in sci-fi be 100% correct.

Twilight just denied the kids what sounded like an amazing book

@gimmickfire5
 
I wholeheartedly agree.

Alicorn Aliens vs. Space Pirates needs to be the next MLP book that Hasbro puts out.
