Well, very few of the story lines in BSG required much in the way of close attention to the laws of physics. It just wasn't germaine to most scripts. That being said, our understanding of what the laws of physics truly are has been revolutionized in the last 100 years, giving us everything from flourescent lights to ion engines for spacecraft. In a few more centuries, or however long it would take to get to the level of the Colonies, what would our "laws" of physics today look like? The astronomy of Tycho, compared to modern astrophysics. It all changes.
