4:52 "I like how they automatically presume there's other planets like Saturn" Ringed planets are not that rare. Even in our own solar system, we have multiple. Saturn just has the biggest rings. 5:10 "I wanna know the concept behind the grav drive" Basically, since gravity makes "dents" in space, theoretically, if you pinch two parts of space together using those gravity dents, you'd move between those two points much faster. It's basically the same idea of what wormholes are. Or what black holes could be potentially doing.
5:35 "Alpha Centauri. Um... Alpha Centauri? Last Starfighter?" Well, since it's a real star system that really exists and could potentially be a target for human colonization some day, it makes sense it'd be featured in lots of Sci-fi.

Wow, I didn't know I had any theoretical physicist watching my channel. Neat

I didn't realize that... Oh wait, nevermind, I did back in 1984 hence why it was in tons of scifo movies
