Can explosions work in space?

The video explores the physics of explosions, focusing on their energy release and effects. It explains why explosions in space are silent due to the lack of air particles to transmit sound. On Earth, shockwaves cause destruction by creating pressure differences. In space, explosions are less effective due to the absence of a medium to carry shockwaves. The video suggests using electromagnetic radiation for space warfare, as it doesn't require a medium to travel. It concludes with tips for more effective space weapons.
