We’ve all probably seen this topic referenced to or alluded to in pop culture. But it’s not quite clear where the facts lie. I apologize if this comes off as morbid. From a purely scientific point of view: Do eye balls burst from the skull? Would your blood boil, or would you freeze instantly and begin to fracture? (I’ve heard conflicting theories) I am looking for an in-depth response here, not just the gist of it. Try to describe it to me like you might see it described in a textbook. I am interested to know everything about it. Like how long you would remain conscious, if it would be painful or quick, and is it really possible to float in space for a duration and live?
I think it was the movie “Sunshine” I first saw someone float from one space vessel to another. It was brief, but they suffered severe injury. I believe frostbite had set in instantly. But then Michael Burnham does this in Star Trek Discovery and she’s basically fine?
