point--- ( some of these article affiliated comments are worth reading )
--Martin L · 134 weeks ago
One point about the matter of not being able to hear explosions in space: you can't, UNTIL the shock wave hits you, which is a wall of vibrating particulate matter, a point which Adam brought up -- THEN you can hear it loud and clear. You can see this effect at the end of the first (and best) "Alien," when you see the soundless flash of the Nostromo detonating from Ripley's viewpoint aboard the fleeing lifeboat, then a larger flash and a crash and rumble. Oh, and Jamie, per #4, regarding no flames in space: take one large spaceship filled with oxygen atmosphere, add ignition, and that baby will flame just fine as long as the O2 holds out -- at which time, you may have various metal alloys superheating enough to burn on their own. And you can also have superheated plasma, which just keeps glowing on its own very nicely. - 1 year ago
