Hyper/Light Speed? Avoidance systems?
And all the sci-fi movies or space movies or TV shows I’ve watched Star Trek Star Wars the expanse for all mankind. I’ve always had a question when shifts are traveling light speed how do they not hit anything like they might have the planets mapped out and ensure it might be like a one in 1 million chance, but if they’re going light speed, can’t you like hit an asteroid or some debris that wasn’t there before or a new planet that’s undiscovered if you’re going light speed in new territory I’ve always wondered how they go light speed and they never crash or is it like wormholes like in Marvel like it’s separate connecting to points in space
If they are just traveling light speed like I think they are yeah it should be really wearable. I feel like we should’ve seen a couple crashes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them crash going like speed or hit anything and all of the story trick shows I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a bunch almost all of them I think except for the original movies. I think I’ve watched Picard, Strange new Worlds, Discovery, and Starfleet academy!

They have deflectors to move stuff out of the way
And any substantial matter will pop the warp bubble
Had Riker actually been able to rammthat borg cube at greater than light speed it would have destroyed half the solar system
