Can a solar sailship got through hyperspace?

I would think so.

Why? We don't know ANYTHING about how hyperspace works. Why would high speed destroy the sail?

don't know, sounded normal

Maybe because your goin really fast. I don't know.

I don't know.

No...you're not going fast at all. In fact, you're not going. It's the principle of getting from one point to another without making the distance between them. According to my Xplanation, it decomposes into weightless particless and recomposes back at the entry point.

Well THAT makes sense.

Sounds a lot like "beam me up Scotty". Wrong movie dude.

No, you absolutely FLY through space. Quote from ANH: "Without the right calculations, you could fly through a star or bounce up to a supernova and that'd end this trip real quick, wouldn't it"

The sail is meant for solar winds, flying through hypersace is for sure faster than that so that'd mean the sail'd have to be retracted before going into hyperspace otherwise logic suggests it'd wrap all around the ship.
So if that is correct, it would mean that you'd have to open sail after leaving the atmosphere, then retract it and go inot hyperspace, upon arriving open the sail again and then retract it to enter the atmosphere of another planet. Sounds like a bitch. 😄

Flying dutchman in space

You better believe it.

As has been sggested, queeq, the sail is NOT meant for solar winds.

I was talking about the principles of Hyperspace. These things are prooven (some of them anyway 😄 ) It resembles teleportation, in a way. I can't take Han's line for real. If u take that, then if u look outside during hyperspace u see blue stuff moving around with great speed. I'm convinced that in the real thing ( and it will be real ) it's a glitch in the time space continuoum. Time is not the same for the guy in the ship as it is for ....me. I think that ( simply speaking ) the ship dissappears and appears at the entry coordinates. Ofcourse when entering hyperspace there is need for great speeds..but that wouldn't be a problem. Hyper space is ( to me) getting from one point to another in a very short period of time, without without flyin' to any path between them.
I watch to much TV 🤣

The vessel's carapace opens to expel its diaphanous sail, which unfurls into a parabolic chute that gathers energetic particles for propulsion.

Actually, think about the principle of space and solar winds. A solar wind is particles being literally blown from a star out into space. Space, as a vacuum, has no air friction, or at least very little. Thus, if a sail were constucted to catch the solar particles, and translate their energy into propulsion, then with no air friction, it would be quite possible to attain speeds greater than that of the speeds attainable through hyperspace, making the solar sail a faster and more efficient form of travel. 🙂
Honestly, don't you guys ever read quantum physics? 😉

That's chod, though, because hyperspace is FTL and no solar-based system could make you go that fast.

The EU excuse is that it uses supra-light particles, which is so much sci-fi nonsense of course, but that is rather the point. Trying to find a physics based explanation is pointless.

Dexx, not only do you watch much TV, you watch much Star Trek.

i did some time ago......I'm more of the Original series fan......

But the important part is that a huge amount would be caught in the sail. And the particles would keep shoveling on as the ship was moving until... FLASH!!!... your faster than hyperspace.

Yes, but solar winds would be no good because no matter what the couldn't make you go faster than light speed.

Hence the inventioin of these mythical particles.

Ha...! I thought the same, but it's been prooven that the light speed can be broken.
