Reply to comment by Prak_Argabuthon in What happens to the energy of sound in space? by full_hammer

Sound, as it is conventionally understood, requires a medium to propagate which can reasonably be approximated as a continuum. That isn't true in the vast majority of space. Events like supernovas create shocks, not sound.
