And there's a reason to believe in universal laws of physics. In our solar system, Newtonian physics coupled with special and general relativity principles correctly predict the observations. Same is true for distant stars in Milky Way. There are holes in our current understanding that need to be filled (unifying force and particle theory is one big example), however the mechanics of a debris field/asteroid belt are hardly considered a mystery. In any case, we are talking about Chris Roberts, who had a space-ship hide behind an asteroid in the Wing Commander movie, and where everyone on board had to stay quiet to escape detection, copying scenes from countless WW2 movies involving u-boats. Laws of physics take a backseat, if they come in the way of having a fun and enjoyable space opera, which is fine by me. -- Noman
