I don't normally laugh at sexist jokes, but this was hell funny.
LOL
No disrespect.
Yes it makes a sound. You can just put a video camera and just let it record a tree falling to figure it out...
how do we know it fell in the first place
[b]YOU DARN HUMANS ARE NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ON EARTH SO JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HEAR IT DOESN'T MEAN IT DIDN'T HAPPENED! >:[[/b]
[quote=BBD]No one was there to accept the sound vibrations there for it did not make a sound.[/quote]
This man speaks the truth.
[quote=dooodnoo]yes it makes a sound, the animals can hear it. if there is nothing there to hear the sound,it still makes a sound because sound waves are produced[/quote]
From what I studied animals don't count when it comes to forest sounds when trees are falling.
Only humans.
@akAMAZING you are right. Now lets find a way and keep people indoors and away from windows
The molecules will still vibrate, but no sound will be produced because as others have mentioned there is no one to accept the vibrations.
No one was there to accept the sound vibrations there for it did not make a sound.
[quote=xultrashock]true, hopefully I can perfect a time machine to prevent this from ever happening.[/quote]
But if you invented a time machine and stopped it from happening, wouldn't you have not gone back in time to prevent something that didn't happen?
No no no, you asked it wrong, it's liek this.
If a tree falls on woman, and no1 is around to hear it, why was there a tree in the kitchen? Naw jk I'm not sexist
I think sound is the vibration of air molecules.
So, yes.
[quote=HolyMythos]Sound waves are produced, so yes.[/quote]
But no one is around to hear the sound waves.
[quote=xultrashock]sound wave yes
perception of sound no

But it already began before you ended it.
Sound waves are produced, so yes.
