Did you know there is no sound in space?

Tell Star Wars! O.O

Lol, I'm sure people have already told/asked the director(s) about it. I haven't seen any interview talking about this specifically, but I imagine they argue with the fact that a movie without sound effects is somewhat dull. :-)

Aw. But imagine! Sitting in the cinema aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand suddenly somebody munches his/her popcorn! \o/
And the fights! All silent! xD

Well, you're right, there's kind of sound in space, but not in the form of vibrations that propagate as an acoustic wave, through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. ;-)
Also, while we're on this subject: These sounds are very interesting, as it proves there are something out there that creates signals with rhythm(s). I personally believe it's a result of suns (and/or possibly other objects with high temperatures/constant emitting of radiation/energy) passing each other in an eclipse, creating oscillating amounts of electromagnetic radiation that reaches our planet. A lot of the sound samples NASA has released are also sped up, as far as I know. :-)
A segue back into the realm of games: Have you heard of EVE Online's Project Discovery? They're currently doing research on COVID19, but they've previously been looking for viable exoplanets too! :-D

I know that if the sun will die it will take us 8 minutes or so to see it, but its sound will be heard for 13 or 14 more years to come. :D

Sorry, but I don't quite understand what you mean with
its sound will be heard for 13 or 14 more years to come
? Elaborate, please :-)Comment has been collapsed.
Due to the distance to the Sun (~150 mil km/1AU) and the sound speed, when the last scream (pretty loud) of the sun will be released, it will have to travel that huge distance with only 343 m/s. Only IF sound traveled through space!
But for light it's faster: 1 AU at the speed of 300.000km/s is traveled in about 500 seconds. :)
Imagine having no Sun, humanity finding the needs to live without it, but hear its roar of ~100 dB for many years to come!

Well, you could in one way say that the scream of the sun is a thing, but in the form of radiation. Not sure if it's really possible to transform the radiation into sound waves without the radiation being such an amount that destroys the creature trying to hear. But the fact that it will take 13-14 years before the "sound" arrives to Earth (or where Earth would have been, considering the sun just died), is just a theoretical fact based on the speed of sound moving through air at sea level with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. "Sound" can also propagate through steel, for example, at the speed of 5,960 m/s. (The explosion in Beirut shows how people felt the explosion before they heard it (the shock wave))
Additionally, if Earth was to retain its orbital speed, we would never hear it, since Earth is moving at an average speed of 29.78 km/s. :-)
And without a sun (if the sun happened to just disappear), we wouldn't last very long, much less than 2 years. The temperature of Earth's surface plummeting far below 0 degrees Celsius in a matter days would probably be the cold end of all life on Earth. And without the gravitational pull of the sun, we would highly likely end up colliding with some of the other planets in our solar system (like Jupiter), destroying the entire planet. :-)
I highly doubt the sound would last for years. Depending on the echoes and "thickness" of the shock wave, I'm guessing it would not last more than a day, theoretically. I also think it would be loud enough to kill most creatures due to the immense energy. That is, if the sound is the only thing left from the death of the sun. We would be dead in about 9 minutes if the sun truly decided to die. :-D

From a theoretical stand point to prove how small we are, even when compared our Sun, you actually nailed it! :D
Cheers for the effort in compiling this!

Thank you! And you're welcome! :-D Have a great day on, and hopefully many more peaceful complete orbits around our beloved sun! ;-)
