Yes, I know about the physics stuff but I figured that this was a spaceship
and was made out of some special material. Although I must confess, I
didn't think about it at the time of getting the idea! I was toying with
putting small spheres as running lights but didn't feel like it and figured
that the lights were just small and that's why they can't be seen!! gotta
love imagination! :P Thanks for the comments.
