In Space, No One Can Hear...

...Anything. In space, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. No air, no liquid, no solid objects. Yet in every Sci Fi space movie I've seen, there are constant sounds in space. I hear things exploding, people screaming, and jets firing. I shouldn't hear anything. All of the Star Trek, Star Wars, and Battlestar Galactica battles would take place in complete and utter silence. I know that film directors put sounds in space because space would be boring without sounds. No one wants to see that epic space battle on mute. So directors break one of the fundamental laws of physics in order to keep fans happy. I, however, believe this is wrong. Anyone watching a Sci Fi space movie can, or atleast should be able to, appreciate the lack of sound in space. Nerds like science, nerds like realism. Atleast I do. Sound isn't even necesarry to present a sense of scale and awe in movies. I think it would be even more dramatic if the introductory battle in SW: Ep 3 between the Republic and the CIS would be awesome if it took place in complete silence. Seeing the guns firing and the resulting explosions without sound would be cool. Everything would look like it was happening in slow motion. It would add a dramatic feel to an otherwise non dramatic movie. Not only would movie directors add a sense of drama to their movies, they would also not look stupid. I personally think that movies that depict space with sound and fire are stupid. There cannot be sound, and there would only be miliseconds of fire, if any. Space is an environment where nothing happens, movies need to get that right.
