Debating

If a tree falls and no ones around to hear it, does it make a sound???

[Loosehead]

sound is vibration, so yes, there is still vibration even though there may not be receptors to detect it.

Also, someone may have left some sophisticated recording equipment nearby and playback later on would prove the point.

[Trojanfarce]

Aah, the old ones are indeed the oldest!!

[Nemesis9]

Deep, very deep.

Are you really asking if expending time and energy on expounding your views and opinions, and placing them into a cyber vacuum that may not care or notice, is actually a worthwhile exercise?

[Lonnie]

Can you hear the sound of a one handed man clapping?.

[youngmafbog]

Is this news ?

[utternutter]

as the person who posted the question, i believe if you cant see anything, how can it exist, is there proof, as recordings, video or sound, cannot be counted as it is like someone watching or listening

[Goodsoulette]

science maybe??

[Loosehead]

appropriate name indeed!

[Englishbird]

You're not being serious are you?

Whether something can be 'seen' or 'heard' is certainly no criteria for whether it exists or not.

If a husband speaks and there is no-one around to hear it... is he still wrong ??

My Lisa is very clever and knows the answer to this.

[Whickerman]

Yes, I know cos I was there, once.

[brachiopod]

More importantly, if the tree falls against your fridge, and there is no-one around to see it, will the light still be on inside?

[mkt]

also, i a tree falls and no-one is around to hear it do all the other trees laugh at it?
