So does it make a sound?
I think it does, even though nobody was around to hear it there is still a sound....what are your thoughts?

My thoughts are that you have too much time on your hands.
I believe you Dottie and you have my support





BS3:
I think that you are destined to walk the Earth, like Caine on "Kung Fu"...
Yeah, I can't believe this is a thread.
Yes. It sounds like 049gfja0dsf98u&^^%*&!!!!
Not that I'd know.

is BS3 the second coming of Kikin?




I think Whirlz would be best to advise us here.

People are not ruled by their memories.





well, the thought is certainly no stranger than Schrodinger's cat.

Okay, I play along...
Yes, it does make a sound, but since there's no one around, nobody cares. On the other hand, no one being around refers to someone being able to perceive the sound, and this someone is suppose to be a person. What about animals though? They will perceive the sound, be it audible or physically through the wave.. so, conclusion, the world around us will do the same thing it always does, because it is bound by simple physics and it doesn't really care if we're around or not... thus, we are "unimportant" to it... but, I'd like to think I am important anyways... I only hope the world doesn't prove me wrong by dropping said tree on my head one of these days.![]()
this thread makes me laugh and I like laughing lol



Time for you to read The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams... it will answer these questions and more. Some you did not even know you have, like what happens when your a human sperm donner and there is only one human woman in the world, and she wants a baby..... but your light years from each other, let alone that you don't even know another human currently in existence...
I've come a long way since I believed in anything, and I've come half way around the world.
Where you come from is gone.
Where you thought you were going to was never there,
and where you are, ain't no good unless you can get away from it.

^^No he is reading books on quantum physics I'm sure of it... Trust me on this I'm a Doctor....

If I am alone in the forest, and begin to masturbate, when I moan, am I actually making a sound, or is it all in my head?
Blacksheep, If you are asking this question as an honest inquery for information....you need...something. A life, a dictionary( which by the way, urbandisctionary don't count)...
Anyway. Does the tree knwo someone is around? What if you are in camo? What if your in stealth mode and the tree doesn't know your around? Then maybe it will feel safe enough to fall without a sound. I think trees only make a sound when they fall to warn people that are around. If noone is around, then the tree chooses not to waste it's energy making a sound. Trees are just conciderate like that. They don't wanna hurt anyone when they fall down.






It's his quest for meaning in this kooky world of ours. Think of it in terms of a natural rite of passage...except sometimes, reading along with it feels like a the passage of a kidney stone.
Nope, Kaylinn!
That's not you moaning. It's me, hiding behind the next tree over...![]()
No. It makes no sound. In fact, none of us make a sound. We are all illusory. It is all fanciful. Nothing truly exists except as our illusory consciousness would have us believe. We don't exist, even our allusions to illusions.
I mean, if we're going to take phenomenon out of the any realm of relevance, let's go whole hog.






Haha, indeed.. take the red pill, party pooper.![]()
Argh, don't remind me. I watched #2 and #3 out of duty. #1 was cool and self-contained, and they should've left it alone.
I was actually thinking more of transcendentalism than spinoffs of pre-medieval Christian legends.
