so if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?

it generates a concussive wave that is identical to what we consider to be sound. That being said, the concept of 'sound' is simply a word we use to explain the way our brain interprets the reaction between concussive forces and the inner ear.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 30 07:45:37 2013 No.6058933 >>6058926 10, because 10 is the given number of trees that have fallen, regardless of people seeing them.

>>	Charles Dawkins Mon Sep 30 16:57:52 2013 No.6059689 >>6059645 Precisely. And one of those details is that we make assumptions about events that are not observed. Even though we cannot empirically verify those assumptions. It's a conundrum. And I might be being facetious. Or not. It's a mystery.
