dangerous brain Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm not going to lie I just made that up in the hope i might sound more intelligent than I really am, so with that said, I don't understand a word of what you just said after "left open" Ah you have to have read a couple of my other posts on a more spiritual level to be in with a shout of understanding who and where I am digging there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I suppose that scientifically it doesn't make a noise as our brain creates the noise when our ear receptors pick it up so if nobody was there then there would be no noise. Of course there would be noise, just no one to hear it Therefore working your theory backwards I would say you are wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Ah but if no one hears it how do you know there is a noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Ah but if no one hears it how do you know there is a noise? So if your house falls down tonight and not one person hears it, will there be no noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Why have i suddenly got an urge to set up some recording system in the woods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Ah but if no one hears it how do you know there is a noise? If no-one (or nothing) hears it there is no noise only vibration in the air. It's not noise until it encounters an ear to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Why have i suddenly got an urge to set up some recording system in the woods? Ah but heres the crux. If you record it then you are technically leaving a part of yourself behind to check to see if there is a sound. SOOOO you then will hear the sound because you are in part technically still there!!!

Thats kinda wrong, the impact would still displace particles and molecules creating sound waves thus creating Noise, just becuase we cant hear it doesnt mean it isnt there.

I'm not disputing the existence of the waves. Only that in order to be considered sound the wave must be heard by something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I really doubt that the max power forum gets this sort of thread, it would probably be something along the lines of "if i wear me burberry tracksuit and no-one sees me am i wearing me burberry tracksuit?"

Pete Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm sure we've done this before? I'll leave it up to Michael and Jakes skillz at using this half assed search facility to work that one out. Basically if it falls and no-one is there...how do you know it fell over in the first place? Also, I'm sure if it did fall the squirrel that was sat on it would certainly have heard some commotion...unless squirrels are all deaf? Maybe they are, and that's why their tails twitch so much - they're sensing the sound waves. So that great bushy thing sticking out of the arse end of a squirrel is in fact not a tail, but it's ear! Still doesn't get me any closer as to whether the tree made a noise though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not realy, another example,.theres a distant sun a 100 million light years away in space,. because you cant see it does it mean it doesnt emit light ? Just becuase we dont see it doesnt mean it doesnt emit light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
