I recently read that there are 1.8 million scientific papers published on Earth per year. In the Star Wars galaxy, there are billions of worlds so there must be trillions of scientists. Is it safe to say that there are like quadrillions of papers published each year and the holo-database is slow as a turtle when researching?
This is a great question!
A few years ago, I was looking into how schools worked in the SW-universe. I wondered the same thing! I also want to know what people major in, if they have a choice under the Empire or if an aptitude test narrows it down for them, etc.
I think it’s safe to say not all worlds would have scientific research as we consider it, similar to native tribes on Earth, but there are probably still research teams who study their practices, etc. I’d say trillions of thesis are created (easily) by the galaxy wide population still. Given how efficient the databases I use(d) for my research are, I’d assume the Star Wars equivalent is just as good, even given the massive amount of documents being processed.
