Now about the assumption of Mary...

Let's try some easy math:

There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;

If merely 1% of them  'ask' Mary for help just once each day;

that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.

Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)

...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!

Purty good fer someone NOT 'devine'!

Purty good fer someone NOT 'devine'!

Can you explain the physics of heaven or of a resurrected body?

First of all, do you have faith enough in God's power to believe that if God willed that Mary be able to hear all those prayers, God has enough power to enable her to hear them?

Now, I'll point you to a short video clip giving a quick answer to your sarcastic skepticism regarding God's power to enable His creatures to do extraordinary and even miraculous things, and urge you to obtain the expanded video they offer there (as well as listen to all the other videos at Catholic Answers youtube - "http://www.youtube.com/catholiccom", as they are quite instructive).
