01.11.14 | Just because there isn't a collective consciousness in the vicinity to recognize "soundness," it doesn't mean sound isn't being created. |

cirq
01.11.14 | sound isnt sound without an auditory system to interpret it as such |

01.11.14 | If a deaf man farts in the forest, did it make a sound? |
ShitsofRain
01.11.14 | it makes a sound |
FrozenVain
01.11.14 | "though the tree's fall creates compression waves, those waves are not audible sound until they are interpreted by your ears and brain"
Someone else might have heard it. You egotistical or something? |

NightProwler
01.11.14 | If a tree falls and waves a created, they are sure to bounce off and reflect on other trees/obstacles in the forest. Ergo, the sound is made. But that is IMO. |

01.11.14 | Either way im sure some cascadian bm band will write a song about it |
DirEnRefused
01.11.14 | This is just semantics. The air's pressure oscillates, call it what you want. Someone hearing that wave doesn't change its properties or existence. |

01.11.14 | could you ever really know that the tree fell if no one was around to observe it? |
zakalwe
01.11.14 | Yeah cos all it's roots would be ripped out and stuff.
Tangibles dude |

01.11.14 | Do clocks move faster when you don't look at them?

01.11.14 | Do cords tangle themselves when you're not looking?
(oh hell yes) |
zakalwe
01.11.14 | Hang on. Why do cords get into such a fuckin mess????
Philosophically and scientifically that blows minds |
zakalwe
01.11.14 | Even more quizzical if a bird in panties eats cookies like a monster is there a danger of exposing beef curtain? |
Riviere
01.11.14 | I think I read an article somewhere that said something about their design makes them destined to be tangled eventually or some shit. One of these days I'm just going to lay a bunch of them near the wheel of the computer chair and set up a camera. |

01.11.14 | it would sound like Bon Iver |
cirq
01.11.14 | "sound waves" arent audible sound until they are translated into such by our auditory system |
Calc
01.11.14 | sound exists whether or not we can hear it. dog whistles emit sounds that people can't hear |

01.11.14 | It's funny because the whole point of this question is to get you to stop thinking
But when you run it by the western mind it goes into overdrive trying to SOLVE |
Phazoen
01.12.14 | sound
noun
1.
the sensation produced by stimulation of the organs of hearing by vibrations transmitted through the air or other medium.
Therefore, the tree falling produces vibrations, which won't produce any sound if there is no organ to hear them. |
cirq
01.12.14 | Its a lesson in perspective |
wabbit
01.12.14 | no it's not
|
Calc
01.12.14 | you know there's other organisms that live in forests that have the miraculous ability to hear right? so even using that weird logic, trees still make sounds when they fall. |
zakalwe
01.12.14 | No, should a tree fall in the forest no birds will fly away, animals won't squawk, there will be no variation in patterns with anything around the tree cos no fucker is stood there at the time scratching their arse. |
Trebor.
01.12.14 | If the Browns and the Jaguars play each other and the game is blacked out and not televised anywhere and the outcome doesn't matter and no one cares and no one shows up to fucking Jag games did the game really happen? |
cirq
01.14.14 | lol |
FigNewtns
01.17.14 | cords get tangled so easily b/c there is only one way for them to be straight, but zillions of other ways they can be tangled.
entropy, the universe tends to disorder etc. |
