Have you ever imagined yourself in a battle in space.  Or injecting yourself into a scene from Star Wars or Star Trek where all those explosions and cool colored flashes of light create a painting of dazzling brilliance in the dark canvas of space.  Well that image that sells all those movie and TV shows maybe a tad on the wrong side.  Hmmmm.  Maybe much more then a tad. This video “The Physics of Space Battles” form It’s Okay To Be Smart that I saw on one of my favorite Facebook pages and blog pages From Quark to Quasars explains  a little about how under our current understanding of physics and space what it may actually look like.
