| Can you hear in space? In theory, if |
| there is nothing to receive the sound, |
| there is no sound. Because there are |
| no "air waves" in space to conduct the |
| sound, it would not carry. So, the |
| object would make a noise, but it |
| would not carry to any receiver, and |
| no one would hear it. |
