If A Tree Fell In The Forrest And There Was No One There To Hear It ,Would It Still Make A Sound?

Answer 1

If a man says something in the forest and woman isn't around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Answer 2

this could be a paradox. the belief in the back of it somewhat is that certainty is the human thought. If there is not any person there to grant interpretation then it would not take place. it can't be shown or refuted. How we are able to guarantee that it makes a valid? If we hear it, if we don't hear it, we would think of that there is not any sound regardless of the shown fact that it could have make a valid. An occasion to simplify issues. I stay in Brazil and you on u . s . a ., i'm chatting with my mom, yet you're actually not listening to, which potential my mom isn't talking?

Answer 3

I applaud all of you for your metaphysical insights into the crux of such a question, but I beg you all to consider the arena in which this question was asked.

This forum deals with PHYSICS, therefore there is only one answer, and that is YES. The sound is MADE by the series of mechanical breakdowns and impacts associated with such an event. If no one heard these sounds which were made, tough.

Perhaps posting this in the philosophy forums would tell more interesting tales, no?

Answer 4

Sound is a perception of the receptor by one definition or if your operative word is "make" and another present to hear. Generation of sound waves would still occur, but without anyone to hear whether it would still "make" a sound without a receptor to process the waves is debatable.

Answer 5

yes it would still make a sound.
reason bieng that sound is a mechanical wave. and when produced it will cause air molecues to vibrate in a transverse wave like motion in that yes sound would be produced only that there would be no ears to listen only that the sound energy would change from one form to another like heat. force(that would cause the air molecues to move thus creating an air current"wind")

Answer 6

If there was no-one around to hear it, there is also a good chance there was no-one there to see it either, so, that would mean there is a good chance it never happened, which brings me to, why ask the question on something that didn't happen?

Answer 7

No, but if a man speaks in the forest and there was no one there to hear it, he would still be wrong.

Answer 8

depends on the amount of leaves cushioning the fall and the speed of the tree falling

Answer 9

its obivious that the falling treemakes a sound
if there is mo medium around the and if it is completely vaccum the it wont make andy sound

Answer 10

This a question without answer. It is just asked to make people really think and ask more questions.
