If a tree falls in the forest and there is noone there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Chocoholic · 04-12-2002, 03:47 PM

If no one is there, then how do we know the tree fell in the first place?

Cos I'm telling you it did.

I see what you're saying though - good point.

yes...but since no one is around they dont hear it...

If a man makes a statement in the middle of a forest and no woman is around to hear him, is he still wrong?

You know, I've never gotten the big philosophical meaning to this question. The answer is so obvious--of course it makes a sound. If I'm not home to hear it and my alarm clock goes off, does it mean it didn't make any noise--of course not.
I wonder who started this silly debate?
I'm not implying that the person who posted this thread started a silly debate, but the person who originated it years ago certainly did.
