If a tree falls in outer space, nobody can hear you ask the question

I would say I love you, but then the Thought Police would get me.

I sense people coming after me, but I'll say it anyways. Proving or disproving something via devil's proof is just stupid. It is like saying: "You haven't seen the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but that doesn't mean it is not real". By saying "You weren't there so you don't know..." not only shows your ignorance and will to counter any incoming argument, it doesn't prove your position of it making a sound or not.

My position is that it does make a sound, because if it makes a sound when people are around, it is just natural that it does a sound when people aren't around. Maybe men wouldn't hear it, but it's their fault for not being under the tree when it fell.

Not only is it deep, but it's also bullshit.

No it doesn't. Because the world isn't how you percieve it to be; the world is how the world is.

Who the *bleep* cares if I can't hear the orchestra of gunshots happening in South Central LA? Doesn't mean that it ain't happening because I can't hear it, buddy.

Your theory doesn't prove a godamn thing.
So ignorance is bliss?

re: Taking the "If a tree falls and no one hears it" to a whole, new, level...

If you're interested in all this stuff then I suggest watching this movie documentary What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?. You can claim people to be idiots for their views, but as Einstein once said "If at first your idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it". This can be applied to anything and anyone trying to disprove someones theory based on science is only proving themselves to be equally as ignorant as the person with the theory. One person is wrong and it takes a level of ignorance to be right.

Inventions and discoveries come from thinking outside the box and exploring the unknown, not by believing everything you're told is the Gods honest truth. I mean FFS the world used to be flat and cigarettes used to be good for you. More reasons to say "What the #$*! Do We Know!?". We haven't even scraped the surface of what there is to actually know. We have yet to realise what the purpose is of existence. Don't question what is yet to have a set in stone answer.

This kind of stuff fascinates me and I have a million and one theories on existence.


quote Dirge of Elliot
quote brownsrock
The falling tree would make sound waves. Naturally, there would be a sound, but since there is no one to pick up the sound waves, it's technically not a sound. Our ears pick up the waves, which is what creates the sound we hear.
That pretty much sums up this thread. Kudos, brownie.
That sums up only that you both lack imagination. How many times has science proved itself wrong?

Don't dismiss that which you can't comprehend.

how do I know anything is happeneing on this planet outside of my dwelling place?
Because other people exist in this world.

Dear god did you actually think that was a philisophical breakthrough?

You think that hurts your head?

Read this

pretty much the same idea as yours, just taken to another level.

I could be wrong, but to me that just seems like a 50/50 chance. Or a flip of a quarter. Either it's heads or tails depending on how many spins and which side you started on. But in this case it depends if the atom depletes or loses an atom is it?
Yes, except it also presents the idea that there are multiple universes that exist, until the box is open.

It's a perfectly valid argument. Just read the link I left.
