What If Space Was Filled With Air?

What If Space Was Filled With Air?

Your Space Walk helmet begin to come loose, but you are saved by the Breathe In Fresh Cosmic Air. How far would this space atmosphere be reach? Why would space suddenly become so loud? And could this lead to the destruction of the whole solar system? This is what if... and here's what would happen if outer space was breathable.

The Earth's atmosphere consists of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and Trace Amounts of other gases. Molecular oxygen is key for life, as it helps bind atoms of oxygen with space dust. When these atoms react with hydrogen atoms, water ice is created instead of molecular Oxygen. However, if we could find breathable air outside of the heliosphere - the boundary where the Sun's gravity is weaker than that of other stars - human life could exist on other planets.

In a universe where the atmosphere expands beyond our wildest imagination, a fascinating question arises: could we travel anywhere in space and breathe just as comfortably as we do on Earth? The prospect of exploring this breathable universe awaits us, but before we delve deeper, let's elevate your style and take a moment to thank the sponsor of today's video - True Classic.

But back to the incredible possibilities of an expansive atmosphere. Imagine a world where you could listen to the sun and other celestial bodies. In the vacuum of space, sound is usually absent due to the scarcity of molecules to carry vibrating sound waves. However, in this new space atmosphere, sound waves could travel vast distances, allowing you to hear everything with stunning clarity.

The sun, in particular, would be a thunderous presence, constantly vibrating at different frequencies and reaching your ears at a deafening volume of 125 decibels. Picture going about your daily routine to a soundtrack akin to thousands of police sirens - undeniably annoying, yet not your most significant concern.

The absence of friction in the vacuum of space allows planets and moons to orbit the sun without losing speed. However, with outer space filled with air, these celestial bodies would collide with air particles at high speeds. Earth, for instance, would experience the same fate as asteroids entering our atmosphere, resulting in scorched surfaces and widespread chaos.

Furthermore, the moon's orbit would eventually come to a complete halt, leading to a devastating collision with Earth. This catastrophic event would tear our planet apart, spelling the end for all life.

The consequences extend beyond Earth; the rest of the solar system would suffer as well. The abundance of air would imbue the solar system with mass, potentially turning it into a black hole. With an immense amount of mass compressed towards the sun, our solar system would become increasingly dense, giving rise to a black hole more massive than the one at the heart of the Milky Way.

At this point, you and I would be long gone, and it's probably for the best, considering the impending collision of these two gravitational giants. But that story belongs to another "what if."
