Using ideas from genetics, neuroscience, sensory physiology and microbiology, this session investigates whether extraordinary abilities such as rapid reactions, heightened awareness and inherited Force sensitivity could ever be scientifically plausible.
Students will explore whether the Force might be explained by mutation, training, symbiotic midichlorians or enhanced brain processing, while considering where real biology ends and science fiction begins.
