If A Tree Fell In The Forest And No One Was Around, Would It Still Make A Noise?

[The Noose]

so because there is no proof that someone is jerking off right now, that means no one is jerking off right now?

sorry, what?

U want proof?

U cant handle the proof!!!

[The Noose]

Prove that the sound came from the same tree

Video camera then.

If it's a Forest, then there's definitely animals.
If there's animals, they can hear.
So yeah - it makes a nosie.

This question is almost as lame as that chicken/egg question.

Video camera then.

How can you video cam it, no one would be there to do it..

Why would you randomly put a camera in the forest and wait for a treee to fall??

But if the camera did capture the noise then i guess it did make a noise..

If it's a Forest, then there's definitely animals.
If there's animals, they can hear.
So yeah - it makes a nosie.

This question is almost as lame as that chicken/egg question.

LMAO this is a philosophy question. Some people think the obvious answer is yes and are insulting anyone who disagrees with this answer. However, this riddle is difficult to answer based on simply yes or no which is why I asked to explain your reasoning.

The obvious answer is that, "ofcourse it made a noise. Just because humans aren't there, doesn't mean it doesn't make any noise".

From a purely mechanical viewpoint, the tree makes sound waves when it falls to the ground. However, without any mechanical device to interpret the sound waves into actual sound, then technically there is no distribution of sound without anything/anyone to interpret it. We as humans hear things because our ears interpret the sound waves around the air to make a sound. However, all there is without a mechanical interpreter (such as an ear) is simply the vibration of the tree.

Someone said to put a sound recorder and that's possible but this is simply from a purely naturalistic viewpoint using natural interpretation of sound waves such as an ear.

wat about the egg and the chicken?

The chicken came first.

Whether you believe in creationism or evolution; both prove that the chicken came first.

[THE REED]

Yeah. I can talk to animals, but I can't communicate with them.

If a tree fell in the forest and no one is around, would you still hope it hit the Octomom, to end this nonsense?
