Can someone who understands physics good explain this to me: wouldn't detonating a nuclear bomb in the vacuum of space result in a blast wave that expanded constantly outwards without diminishing in power because there's nothing in space providing resistance against its energy? So basically the wave from the nuke that destroyed the Canterbury would have reached Julie on the asteroid and hit it with the exact same force as it did to the Canterbury rather than making the camera shake a bit? Or does the wave lose energy in its expansion?

It doesn't technically diminish in power but since the 'surface area' of the blast wave keeps expanding it will very soon reach the point where the energy applied per square centimeter is negligible.

That makes sense, thank you.
