"In addition to the work of designing planetary systems, the GM must be able to talk convincingly, if not knowledgeably, about gravitation, radiation, black holes, and atomic particles. Much of this can be handled by using the conventions of current science fiction, but game players are contentious, and the science fiction GM cannot always resort to the dungeon master's ultimate ploy, 'That's the way it works in my world!'"
