@DarthBlopple@neiltyson He's a smuggler, he is boasting how many Empire controlled systems he blew through, thus saving time.

@neiltyson Everyone already knows that, Neil. Here's why the Kessel Run is measured in parsecs:pic.twitter.com/G9UrbWnbpu

@YesItsColin@neiltyson Let's be honest. The real issue here is that Han said "less than 12 parsecs," not "fewer than." - 1 more reply

@neiltyson Kessel is a nebula filled with obsticles. Bragging you did it in the shortest distance makes sense. -
@ArmouredSkeptic@neiltyson Obsticles are obstacles formed out of icicles? -

@neiltyson perhaps the Kessel Run is a version of the Traveling Salesman Problem, where the goal is to minimize distance traveled -
@__apf__@neiltyson If I remember correctly, the KR involves navigating about a black hole and proximity to it varies the distance. -
@__apf__@neiltyson Basically, it's a measure of how crazy you are with distance inversely proportional to craziness.

@neiltyson The Kessel Run is judged based on distance rather than time, though. The route Han piloted through the Kessel Run is only 12 pc!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson The Kessel Run passes by black holes. The faster you move, the closer you can get, and the shorter your route is.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson I was under the impression that Han was implying that he found a shortcut. - 1 more reply
