What If Space Was Filled With Air?

Imagine you’re out for a routine space walk. Suddenly your helmet comes loose. But instead of suffocating, you breathe in fresh cosmic air. How far-reaching would this space atmosphere be?
Why would space suddenly become so loud? And could this lead to the destruction of the whole Solar System?

A universe filled with air would be the biggest earrape of all time!!! Imagine the noises from every star, black hole, planet, collisions of celestial objects all in one!

Everything about this channel reminds me that everything is as good as it should be.

Man, your videos really make me appreciate the nature of out universe as it contains un-breathable space, Earth rotating around the Sun and not UY Scut, Mars not switching places with Venus and Jupiter remaining a planet and not a star.

Genie: I grant you 1 wish
Me: I wish outer space was more breathable
Genie: Are you sure? you might need to consider watching what if.

I thought this was going to be a fun and trippy episode. Turned out to be something from a nightmare 😳

What if Greek mythological creatures were real?

Wouldn't the atmosphere burn? If O² were there, Sun would burn the whole atmosphere although it's plain fire.

What if our civilization started in 2x gravity. Will our civilization produce different types of propulsion systems? Would we have better technology than now? Would this type of evolution be dependent on gravitational force on a planet?

Props to the camera man for surviving the end of the world and gathering this footage for us 🙏

whoever who thought of no air in space and who that designed the universe, is a colossal genius

What if black holes pushed things out, instead of sucking them in.

[BobChess]

What if the outer space is bree-
I mean breathable.
It will be so fantastic!

[rahulrs]

one good thing would be that space wont be black, since now there's an atmosphere to scatter light. that would be awesome to see

[agusfadillahsani]

Wow, the thumbnail itself, can be a stunning wallpaper. 😮

[redbaron]

If we were able to hear these extreme cosmic sounds i wonder how our ears and audio receptors would adapt over time.

[haphazardvlles]

If space had air, it would not be space.

[creationmuse]

If you make it to heaven, it will be!😇(New mind and body). Sooo much to see and do!✨🤩💫

Also, not considering that air carries heat, so the air around every planet would be hotter than the air farther from them, which would alone be catastrophic.
