Can explosions work in space?

Why can't you have sound "effects" in space?  Maybe it could be literal, and they're simulated to aid the pilot/crew, for the same reason video games have sound, to help with spacial awareness. Emulating what we'd expect to hear could have a massive improvement on performance.  Even here on earth in reality, we have microphones that function using light as a medium.

Explosives could have a great impact on spacecraft / stations.  The pressure differential between spacecraft and outerspace itself is HUGE.  Same reason you're not supposed to puncture a can of spraypaint, much less something like the welding tanks that take off across a building if the valve gets broken off.  

The trick is doing enough damage to the armor/hull to get an explosive in a position where it can do damage.A sphere shaped object would make a defensive craft, not the jagged spiky things we tend to see where you could wedge something in and, boom, exert pressure and split it open.

But even at that....

Say, the thing under attack is a space station, like, gargantuan in size with atmosphere and people inside of it.  Shockwaves would still travel through the trapped air inside the station, as well as through the superstructure itself much like it does on earth.

Has PhysicsGirl never done the classic, build a thing that stops an egg from breaking when dropped from X height(in gradeschool, ours was just the top of a stepladder)?  Atmosphere doesn't really play a role in the destruction of the egg in that case, just raw kinetic force(easily achieved with a nuclear and other explosion, what do you think causes all that air to move in the first place...also, there's a reason scientists have tried the thought experiment of using a nuclear explosion for propulsion).

Been in a traffic accident?  Amusement park rides or even an elevators display these same effects, just usually not to any kind of point of bodily injury, usually.  Inertia and/or vibrations can really wreck a lot of structures making the tinies weak point to begin catastrophic breakdown. Enough vibration would turn humans inside of a station into so much pink mist, not much different than mixing a can of paint.

Earthquakes are a great example of insane destruction happening without any meaningful relationship to the atmosphere, meaning, present or not, atmosphere doesn't make a big difference.

Meh, PG lost a lot of nerd cred here.
