It mostly has to do with "undiscovered" forces that sort of mirror electromagnetism and allow all the technology and stuff in the story. It might annoy you!Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06310039122656051824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880088692595066231.post-15176176134413489302011-03-02T16:13:22.459-08:002011-03-02T16:13:22.459-08:00What kinds of fictional laws of physics?

For example, in a sci-fi setting where the science itself is not really integral to the plot (say, Star Wars, Star Trek, most modern sci fi), I am more forgiving of things like superluminal travel. If the science IS actually an important part of the plot in and of itself, I'm way less tolerant.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463115927796731953noreply@blogger.com
