Sound in space
Without looking it up on google, how far does sound travel in space? Please use spoiler tags with your answer and be honest, because I didn't know until now.

I don't know what "spoiler tags" are..sowz.
Do you mean space with all the planets and comets and stuff in it? Or how far would it go in unobstructed space? I think if it was empty space, it would go on forever...nothing to block it or slow it down. I'm not sure how far it would go with planets and stuff in the way...meh, I'll say forever.

I thought sound waves can't travel in space, but frequencies, such as radio could travel indefinantly.

A sound wave contains energy for two reasons; because the matter(air, water, etc.) is compressed and because it contains molecules in motion. To have sound there must be matter. There is very little matter floating around in space. There is virtually no sound in space. Sound could not travel at all in space.

I guess that's why they call it the vacuum of space.

So you are saying if Smetz and I are right next to each other in outer space and I fart he won't hear it?
This poses a new question... Will he smell it?

Oh Man! I was thinking of radio waves. I know the tagline "In space, no one can hear you scream" but I was thinking of that other movie, First Contact where they show the "radio/tv" waves moving out through space. Doh!

I didn't say oxygen. I said air and by air I ment a gas. Methane is in the air/gas category, just like gasoline is a liquid. Sorry that I was unclear.

Yeah but you couldn't smell the farts because the particles would spread out unbelievably far from each other, hence the vacuum. There is air in space, just like 1 particle of air to every bazookabillion square miles or whatever

Yeah but that air wouldn't necessarily travel to your ears.

If the "air" travels to your nose I don't find it hard to believe that it can travel to ears that should be fairly close to your nose if you are somewhat a normal human.
That or you could just fart in somes here so there won't be any confusion that it was your fart.
