Physicst Proves That R2D2 Is Lighter Than Styrofoam (via io9)

Physicst Proves That R2D2 Is Lighter Than Styrofoam

A physicist carefully examined the way R2D2 flies in Attack of the Clones, and has come to a startling discovery. Examining the thrust of R2's flight, then adding in gravity and resistance, he discerned that R2's mass is 100 grams.

While I love this kind of thing, it does make me a little sad. All fiction shouldn't have to be correct down to the molecular level.
