It's really happening!Follow

There are inadequate molecules in the vacuum of space for the conduction of sound, therefore no sound waves can be received by the ear and converted into a useful signal to the brain.

So then the flash will be some slight fluctuation of the sun's rays during the day?

I hate you with the mass of a million suns.

Yes. That was the joke.

If Ash is the mass of a million suns then I'm fairly certain we're all dead. Or dying. Or dead a million times over before I click Post Message, anyway.

And sound will never reach Earth, unless the sound waves travel in a material that eventually moves to Earth, thus carrying the waves over into our atmosphere. Imagine ripples in a pond viewed from another pond. Once those ripples reach land, you can't see them anymore, and they don't carry over into your pond. Technically a bad analogy since the waves would ever so slightly move through the ground as well, but you get the idea. Unless the pond is moved over into your pond...

Okay, ***** the analogy. The answer is yes. Or no. I forgot the question.
