PhD Candidate Talks About the Physics of Space Battles

Posted by samzenpus on from the load-photon-torpedoes dept.

darthvader100 writes "Gizmodo has run an article with some predictions on what future space battles will be like. The author brings up several theories on propulsion (and orbits), weapons (explosives, kinetic and laser), and design. Sounds like the ideal shape for spaceships will be spherical, like the one in the Hitchhiker's Guide movie."

    Sounds like the ideal shape for spaceships will be spherical

    That'll be boring: round ships, round planets, round explosions, and round movie goers.
