You'll freeze, dude. No explode-y.

There is more than one thing wrong with your question.

Basically, the answers are no and no. In that order.

Um, you don't explode. Get off my /sci/.

>>652761

basically since space is a powerful vacuum the air gets sucked out of you fast enough to rip you apart.

>>652766
Please stop talking about thermodynamics like you understand it.

>>652775
Again, no.

>>652776
He's right, dumbass.

>>652776
I'm surprised that that language was sufficient to have you arrive at such a conclusion. I will hold my tongue from now on, but on the contrary, I used the future tense will, implying that eventually, you will freeze, dude.

>>652766
>>652787

Oxygen deprivation will get you first.

>>652787
You would probably suffocate first though, surely? I can't imagine a human could radiate enough energy to kill them before they ran out of air. It's not like there's anything up there to just transfer the energy to quickly.

>>652793
Again, there appears to be a misinterpretation as to the meaning of my words, but alas, we're digressing from the point: OP is a retard and needs to shut the fuck up.

At ground level, the air around you is pressurised alone with the air in your lungs and inner ears. In space, the air in your lungs and inner ears is also pressurised. But, without the pressure around you to push back, the air in you forces itself out. BOOM!

>>652807
Oh great, another one. You're wrong, dude.

You idiots, your lungs would explode.

>>652813

how exactly is he wrong?

>>652807
15 PSI of pressure

Ever seen weightlifters lifting 300+ pounds? the surface area on their hands supporting that is about 6 square inches (SI). 300/6 = 50PSI. Their hands don't explode from all that massive pressure (Triple what you listed!), neither do you in space.

U fucking retards u dont suffocate. youre lungs explode out FACT

>>652807
It'd be painful, but no boom.

Maybe if you were pulled suddenly from deep sea diving into space it would work like that.

>>652829
To clarify: 1 atmosphere of pressure (the air pressure you mentioned) is about 15 PSI.

>>652774
Read this guys..
Also if you're wondering why people are concerned about their blood boiling in a vacuum it's because the lower the pressure the lower the boiling point of a liquid becomes. However, like it says in the article, your natural blood pressure prevents this from happening.

I like how nobody read this the first time it was posted.

Something like this actually happened once
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byford_Dolphin#Diving_bell_accident
>Subsequent investigation by forensic pathologists determined D4, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient, violently exploded due to the rapid and massive expansion of internal gases. All of his thoracic and abdominal organs, and even his thoracic spine were ejected, as were all of his limbs. Simultaneously, his remains were expelled through the narrow trunk opening left by the jammed chamber door, less than 60 centimeters (24 inches) in diameter. Fragments of his body were found scattered about the rig. One part was even found lying on the rig’s derrick, 10 meters (30 feet) directly above the chambers. His death was most likely instantaneous and painless.

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!!

OP just said space. Space is everywhere, he didn't specify "outer" space.

This whole thread is a lie.

And then to answer OP, because of bombs.

>>652766
>>652783
SPACE ISN'T COLD.
Retards.

>>652869

of course space is cold, that is why you freeze in space

>>652878
You don't.

>>652878
The average temperature of particles in 'space' is very low. But because there are also very few of these particles, heat transfer isn't very efficient.

>>652958
This guy has it

Imagine being in front of the sun
You would be on fire, but the space behind you would be very, very cold.

>>652974
You could argue either way. It depends on your definition.

>>653055
>that is why you freeze in space
>anyone exposed to sunlight in space is actually in danger of roasting to death, not freezing
>It depends on your definition.
Whut?

>>653046
To be fair, the sun is radiating heat, which is why it puts out so much energy. The human body wouldn't do that very well in the vacuum of space, and relies more on convection (wait, is that it? What's the other one? Damn) down here on earth to regulate temperature.

>>653063
I just typed
>>653071
but it isn't all that clear.

There is more than one way to transfer 'heat'. The sun mostly operates through radiation (i.e. emitting energy). Human bodies and most else on earth transfer heat by CONDUCTION THAT'S THE FUCKING WORD I WANTED which involves the molecules/atoms 'touching' and transfering directly. Because there's very few atoms in space, conduction doesn't work well, but radiation is unaffected.
