Is this realistic?

Yes, as realistic as it can be while remaining exciting. It isn't completely hard sci-fi, but it is pretty close in many respects. There's more research packed into that show than in most movies.

it does not depict actual evens that have happened or are currently happening, so the short answer is, no.

the longer answer is, we don't have a good enough understanding of how things work in space to be able to tell you if this is realistic, because it depicts technology that doesn't exist yet. so it's really not an answerable question.

it looks more realistic to me than other space combat movies, though. the way the weapons create trails through the ship's interior is kind of cool looking.

I dont understand. Are holes being blown right through the ship? If the ship was full of air then the air rushing out the holes would obliterate those passengers.

Actually, that's one thing that scifi tends to get wrong. Unless you had a huge airlock open, a hole in a spacecraft would at most produce a gentle breeze as the air leaves. The pressure differential between atmospheric pressure and a vacuum isn't that big.

No, they take the oxygen out of the ship during battles for that reason i guess.

earlier in the show there was a railgun going through a large ship full of air. It was spooky because all the air rushed out and there was no sound

What the fuck is wrong with the particles, what they just appear out of no where? Or they just don't have any fucking kinetic energy?

What show is this? it looks cool

So the problem is there wouldn't be trails of debris hanging in space.

the expanse.

cool scif and graphics

shitty writing in some parts (lots)

desu you might even be able to plug the hole yourself. air is only 14 psi or so.

no, its not realistic

Delta-P ensures that it is only a problem if you are very close to the hole. As in under 4 inches. Divers have to work around worse changes in pressure than 1atm.

There's a Heinlein short story about that very thing on the moon. A tunnel 3 men are trapped in has a small hole. They take turns pressing their asses against the hole. They survived, but had wicked hickeys on their asses and some frostbite.
