I know space is pretty big, but what if you scream really loud? Like that lady in Mortal Kombat. Or Lola. Times infinity.

Sound waves are vibrations, so they require a medium to be transmited by.
Like Air or.. anything. There's nothing to vibrate in space, so..
No, no one can hear you scream.

True.
Sound must travel through a medium (a liquid or gas). Space, being a vacuum for the most part, doesn't have enough of either to do the job.

space is a vacuum. that means there is no air. sound needs something to travel through, like air, water, or at least solid matter. and since none of those are found rather abundantly in space, you can scream all you want. no one will ever hear you. go ahead.... scream. they'll never come. you'll die before anyone ever hears you. keep screaming... that's it. louder.

True, if we can hear in space, then we will all deaf because of the large sound created by explosion of Supernova

it will never happen, no matter how loud it is cause theres no matter for it to travel through...
sound waves travel through air by interrupting the particles that make up our atmosphere...those particles are not in space so noise can not travel anywhere

you wouldn't be able to scream by the time you are exposed to space your body explodes
just like if chuck norris round house kick
but inspite of the fact the pressure would make you explode.
you could hear some one in space if they were near you

Space is a vacuum, therefore there is nothing to vibrate to cause soundwaves to be transferred, so infinity times nothing is - guess what? - STILL NOTHING!
