Deflector shields. Possible?

[FFactory0x]

Ive seen deflector shields used is various movies and was wondering if it was possible at this time to do such a thing??
I mean i know it prolly takes a helleva lot of energy for ships and what not but what about buildings or anything else

I am pretty sure that somewhere in the galaxy this was discussed on a trekkie forum somewhere.

Doesn't matter, my lightsaber would cut right through them.

You have to invent hull plating first.

I dont watch star trek or any of that sci-fi crap but have alsways wondered if it could be done. Like a shield around the white house or something to protect it

All you have to do is reroute power from main engineering via the auxiliary patch conduit in Jeffries Tube E-467.

If you want a serious answer, go to HT.

A shell of shielding is ridiculous IMO.

Nope. Don't ya remember that corridor at the end of episode 1? Maul's lighsaber bounced off it. 🙂

thats pretty cool. Now i wonder if you were to touch the shield would your hand like melt or instantly burn off or would it be like trying to punch a brick wall only to find your hand wont go through it

I will use my all mighty nuke.

speaking of light sabors. In jedi acadamy i find it funny how a jedi can block a rocket when fired at him. Wouldnt it explode on contact

Don't use the logic.
Use the force.

No, because they are uberhumans, they defy all laws of physics. 😛

I'll attempt a serious answer,

No.

I am assuming that you mean an energy barrier with the ability to block a bullet or some such thing, or at least prevent you from walking through it as if it were a wall.

Matter feels four forces.

First, electromagnetism.

It might be possible to come up with a field powerful enough to snare matter IF ordinary matter existed in a charged state. It doesnt though. It is electrically neutral, and therefore this option is out.

The other forces:

Weak - mediates radioactive decay- no help there.

Strong- keeps atomic nuclei from flying apart- as above

Gravity- too weak.

In any case, we cannot generate these last three forces, even if some theoretical use of them came to light.

Sorry.
