I'm writing my own science fiction IP. And so far I'm having a blast with the world building. Or should I say worlds building? Anyway, I'm putting a lot of thought into how people would keep themselves alive in space. I'd like some input on one of my "future tech thingambobs."
People can't hear anything in the vacuum of space because soundwaves need matter to travel. But hearing is actually pretty important for a number of reasons. So it only makes sense that people would find a solution of some kind. Mine is as simple as substituting on wave for another. In this case radiation waves caused by objects moving against each other. Like someone stomping along the surface of planetoid, the opening of a hatch, the explosion of a rover, or the opening of a pouch. To my understanding all of these events would release a small burst of radio activity. So if someone's head gear had something the would detect those burst and translate them to sound, they could effectively hear in space.
Are there any smartypants types around who wouldn't mind checking my science and giving me some useful feed back?
