The important part of this process is that air molecules propagated the sound wave from its source to your ear. However, in the vacuum of space, there are no molecules to propagate sound waves and you don’t hear anything. There are two types of hot water systems: the gravity system and the hydronic or forced hot water type. The films “2001: a Space Odyssey, ” “2010: The Year We Make Contact,” and “Mission to Mars” all depict this type of artificial gravity correctly. On spaceships, such as “Star Trek”‘s Enterprise or Star Wars’ “Millennium Falcon,” there is some type of artificial gravity field that allows the occupants to experience normal gravity in flight. In an episode of the original Star Trek series titled “The Immunity Syndrome,” the Enterprise encounters a gigantic single-celled organism resembling an amoeba. They will attract objects by virtue of their mass and gravity just as the star that bore them did (remember that the black hole has the same mass as the star, just more compact, or dense).

Einstein revised Newton’s theory and envisioned gravity as a distortion of space caused by mass. But if you examine Newton’s law of gravity above, neither the mass of the Sun nor the Earth changes, and neither does the distance between them. Einstein’s theory explained everything that Newton’s did and more (the odd behavior of Mercury’s orbit, the bending of light by gravity). To make the beam visible, you must place fine particles in its path to scatter the light (such as chalk dust or baby powder). This research led Frank Kelly, professor of environmental health at King’s College London, to tell a UK parliamentary inquiry in 2016: “If we breathe them in they could potentially deliver chemicals to the lower parts of our lungs and maybe even across into our circulation.” Having seen the Orb data, Kelly told the Guardian that research is urgently needed to determine whether ingesting plastic particles is a health risk. When the bell in the above animation flexes away, it pulls in on the surrounding air particles. Each vibrating air molecule passes its vibration on to the next air molecule between the bell and your ear to make the sound wave propagate.

When the vibrating air in you ear canal hits your eardrum, it causes the eardrum to vibrate with the same frequency as the sound wave. The sound energy moves along by vibrating molecules of gas, liquid or solid. One example of the correct depiction of the lack of sound in space is Stanley Kubrick’s classic film, “2001: a Space Odyssey.” We see shots of the inside of spacecraft (Discovery, pods, moon vehicles) with sounds of machinery and alarms. The same thing happens when you hear sounds underwater or through walls (liquids and solid propagate the sound waves as well). Sound only resumes when Bowman manages to close the airlock and let it fill with air. He decides to decompress his space pod exposively to propel himself into an open airlock aboard the space ship Discovery. The film shows the explosion and subsequent propulsion of Bowman from the airlock in total silence.

As with the visible lasers, most sci-fi films and TV shows accompany explosions in space with sound because it would be unsatisfying for the viewer to see an explosion and not hear anything. Such explosions happen in many sci-fi movies and TV series, such as when “Star Trek”‘s Enterprise destroys an enemy vessel, or when the Nostromo self-destructs in “Alien.” The problem here is that sound does not carry in space. In “Star Trek,” the Enterprise fires its phasers at enemy space ships. When the rebel forces destroy the Death Star in “Star Wars Episodes IV” and “VI,” each Death Star goes out with a loud explosion. Passive techniques remained widespread until the 20th century when they fell out of fashion and were replaced by powered air conditioning. Think about that. We’re waiting for snow to put this out. If the Sun were to instantly become a black hole, many people think that it would suck the Earth into it (Although the Sun does not have enough mass to become a black hole). All you have to do is add a tablet to the wash, in addition to regular detergent.
