Fluids move due to pressure gradient force. The pressure broke apart the soda can and physically pushed it. If there is nothing to push she. The gas moves to low pressure, there is no opposite force

Oh gawd. Can't believe this one dimensional thinking.

Dude, here's a foolproof test you can do to prove you're wrong.

You can do it with a hose and water under pressure. Turn the hose on and feel the thrust back caused by the water being expelled under pressure.

Got that?

Now, place your hand a couple of inches in front of the flow. You will feel no change in the thrust.

You can do it with an air compressor too if you want to test it for gas.

Don't blow your hand off.

Actually you do feel the change in thrust. So I have a water hose a full pressure pointing at the air. The I point at the wall a few inches away, massive thrust change bro. Not only that you get soaked from the splash back.

There will be no change to the thrust, since the thrust is generated as the water exits the hose and doesn't depend on what the water hits afterwards. Try actually doing it, rather than imagining it and you'll see.

I’ve done this several times and probably many others have too when playing with the garden hose. Are you denying direct evidence? I’ll make a video when it gets warmer to show you.
