Assuming that "the laws of physics" did still exist perhaps you could propose how the "sea" and the "boat" were transported to this "Zero Gravity Place" (which still has gravity)Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

always away from the sun - it is the solar wind which causes the tail.
but the OP did not ask about space anyway he/she asked about a boat in zero gravity.
The answer would be no the boat and the water would stay in the same place you left them if no external forces acted upon them. I reckon!Comment

Originally posted by Churchill View PostYou're assuming that heat is only conducted, transferred via convection.
Radiation, convection and conduction are all methods of heat transfer.
I think the water would boil away if not contained by some form of pressure vessel.
The radiation from nearby stellar objects would cause any fluids to boil away; eg, if you were to get a tear in your pressure suit if outside the Shuttle, you'd be ****ed.Comment
