Dubbelosix Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 The shock waves are not eternal, when passing through a physical medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubbelosix Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) It will destroy what is necessary, until it looses energy in what we call phonons. Edited February 29, 2020 by Dubbelosix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timboo Posted February 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) It will destroy what is necessary, until it looses energy in what we call phonons.So it is causing explosions all along the route Have things like this happened before Edited February 29, 2020 by Timboo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubbelosix Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Not of the same magnitude. Your question is tactful to find an error somewhere when none exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubbelosix Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) You seem to have it in mind that the shockwave cannot be buffered. Edited March 1, 2020 by Dubbelosix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timboo Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 You seem to have it in mind that the shockwave cannot be buffered.I am not sure what it means buffered. In my mind this shockwave is travelling trough space destroying anything in its path. Also what does it mean when it says punched a crater through the galaxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubbelosix Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) No, shockwaves are often buffered, have you ever heard of a silencer? Edited March 1, 2020 by Dubbelosix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubbelosix Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) A shock wave travels as if it where a sound wave. A silencer buffers the noise, the noise is the disturbances it causes through spacetime. A large explosion cannot continue indefinitely in an non empty vacuum.
