yes, because the sound wave will still interact with other atoms and molecules in the forest, and theoretically that can be detected however far you want in the future

Obviously yes, it will make a sound. Sound waves do their wether you're there to hear them or not.

No because sound is an aesthetic perception by a human who recorded what the perception of phonons felt like.

But isn't sound just our ears translating the vibrations of air into nerve signals? If there's nothing to capture the 'sound' then all that happened in the forest was a disturbance in the air surrounding the tree. It's like saying a flower in the middle of the florest has a smell even if there's nothing there to smell it. There is no smell, just organic molecules being released by the flower into the environment.

If we were in a simulation, how long after discovering this would we have to escape the simulation before it got shut down? Beyond a certain level of awareness we become to dangerous.

You can see the tree if you go there later. You can't know if it made a sound when it fell (or actually whether it fell at all)

No, because sound is an experience. If there is no organism that can sense the stimulus, than there is no stimuli.

>> No.9556506

>>9556170
It's an illusion because there is no light that stimulates the eye to perceive red. Truth be known, however, there is red present in the image due to the pixel elements being fully illuminated to the backdrop of white.
Not all experienced color/hue are generated by the stimulation of discrete wavelengths, but a neurological average of how the cells are being stimulated in the retina. The common example being how out monitors don't contain any yellow pixel elements, but use a mixture of greens and reds to trick the eye into perceiving yellow.

Considering our time perception would be purely subjective, 0. They just delete us and restore a previous version where we didn't knew, rinse and repeat.

If a time lapse is filmed in a forest and no one is moving, does it make a video?

>> No.9559063

Depends on what you take sound to be. Is it vibrations in the air? Then yes. Is it the way a conscious being interprets said vibrations? Then no. I personally go for the latter.
