NO, NO, NO. Do not treat me like some common idiot. *Snaps fingers in "Z" formation* I'm not BM, but I know fucking elementary science.

You don't need air for sound, any gas would suffice. And what would be exploding out of the universal origin point? Shitloads of plasma and gas. That gas would be capable of filling ear canals, capable of carrying vibrations, and given the incalculable force with which they were colliding with other gasclouds, they would be. You don't even need gas, liquids (and possibly plasma, though I won't stick my neck out on that one) carry sound too.

Good God, I'm being patronised by Havoc. I don't think anyone deserves that.
So what you are saying is that would be able to hear a star exploding a milisecond before the explosion hits you? Well... I suppose. But you won't be able to hear it if you are at any sort of safe distance, even if the sound would normally reach that far.

Put it differently, you can fire a cannon in space without hearing it, even if you are right next to it.
