    Im kinda trollin at this point, but in an ordinary explosion, in a vacuum without external gravity, everything would indeed have a different initial velocity and direction, so everything would be moving away from everything else.

      imagine standing at the side of the explosion looking towards it. some debris will be blown way from you, but some will be coming towards you. You are something, and not everything is moving away from you, some debris hits you in the face. That’s an explosion in space.

      An explosion of space is defferent. Everything will be moving away from you, regardless of where you are or which side you’re facing.

      Something wasn’t in space and it exploded. Space itself exploded. your argument only holds if you are exactly in the explosion source.

      In space, we’re still inside the explosion
