Wait. How can you be sure the tree fell if no one was there?

How can we be sure there's a forest? 🙂

Because there's no mistaking that sound of trees.

Yeah cos your getting your knickers in a twist and (allegedly) censoring out my posts
on your computer was a really crushing blow for me.

Really! Having a known liar and idiot get upset at my posts really cuts me up inside.


BTW do you employ an eight year old to come up with your insults or did you just never
get past the age of eight? ... Mentally I mean.

That sounds hard to believe. Who was this cretin?

aha, you hoist the jolly roger long johnny silver! I give you the black spot johhny,
written on the page of a Bible, Till sundown and poor seafaring men such as you anti
religionists and atheists would do well to consider its contents, for to be sure, you could
do with every scrap of scripture you can get! "Them that dies will be the lucky ones"!

Good morning, FMF. This soft question carries considerable weight when we consider the various and many definitions of 'sound'.

No it doesn't.

Arguing over the meaning of the word is utterly boring and pointless.

When a tree falls in a forest it causes the air and ground molecules to vibrate.

These vibrations when detected by a suitably enabled device (like a human ear
for example) are commonly referred to as sound. (or sound waves)

A tree falling makes these sound waves regardless of whether a suitably enabled
device is present or not.
