Ehh? What do competent astrophysicists have to do with it? You realize this is science fiction, right? Aspects that remain a mystery would include anything that Lucas didn't need to/bother to write about.Maximum7 said:

Hyperspace in Star Wars is a fictional concept of a parallel dimension that allows spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light, making it possible for characters to travel long distances in a short amount of time.
In the Star Wars universe, hyperspace works by using a hyperdrive to enter a parallel dimension where the laws of physics are different, allowing for faster-than-light travel. The hyperdrive is powered by a fictional energy source called hypermatter, which enables ships to travel through hyperspace.
Currently, hyperspace travel is not possible in real life as it is a concept that exists only in the Star Wars universe. However, scientists are constantly researching and exploring the possibilities of faster-than-light travel through theories such as wormholes and warp drives.
In the Star Wars universe, there are several dangers associated with hyperspace travel, including the risk of colliding with objects such as planets, stars, or other ships. Additionally, there is a phenomenon known as "hyperspace sickness" that can affect some individuals who travel through hyperspace.
In the Star Wars universe, objects in hyperspace cannot be detected by conventional means. However, specialized equipment such as gravity well projectors can be used to pull ships out of hyperspace or prevent them from entering it. Additionally, some characters in the Star Wars universe possess the ability to sense objects in hyperspace through the Force.
