Im not sure if this is the right forum for this question as I am unsure
where it fits.
I always think of a Shock Wave as something that travels through
a medium, as in a sonic boom from an aircraft, but some talk of shock waves
in space, as in the shock wave from a supernova, is this the correct
terminology? Do shock waves travel in a vacuum, if so what are they?
