I'm bored so ask me anything.

[The_Cataclysm]

On another set of forums I used to go to there was a traditional topic called the "ask me anything". Pretty much, you can ask the topic creator anything you want and it is up to him/her to answer the question. This goes on until either the questions or the answers stop coming. Of course I reserve the right to refuse to answer any question.

So, ask away. If this goes well, maybe someone else will follow suit.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it did it really make a sound?

[The_Cataclysm]

really? anything at all?

No, on second thought, no you can't ask me anything. Just everyone else.

Yes, Everyone is part of the problem.

Nope

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it did it really make a sound?

Some animal would have heard it, so yes.

aw man why not?

Why is it that when you can be in a group of quiet people, the moment you mention what's best on pizza or the best chinese food, then everyone pretty much won't stop talking?

[The_Cataclysm]

aw man why not?

Because you questions are far to personal.

I have never noticed that. I will have to try that sometime.

The answer is yes. Sound is a form of energy, that exists regardless of the presence of anything to hear it. Even in a mythical wood that nothing but plants live in.

Sound is just how you brain process the energy.

If the question was "If a tree falls in the forest, and there's no one around to hear it, does it cause sonic vibrations in the atmospheric medium", I'd agree with you.

But without the presence of a structure that can translate sonic vibrations into neural activity, i.e. an ear, I'm not sure that I can. However, I do think that reasonable people can disagree on this one.

Cataclysm, can we get a ruling?

Some animal would have heard it, so yes.

So if the animal was, of the bird variety which came fist the bird or the egg?

[The_Cataclysm]

Why?

Just..... why?

Because it's there. That is always the answer.

So if the animal was, of the bird variety which came fist the bird or the egg?

Neither has a fist.

This one is a bit more easy.

As birds evloved from more primitive animals that were already laying eggs, Like small dinosaurs for example, it is feasable that the egg came before the bird.

The egg evolved as a viable way to protect the fetus of said animal and was a successful medium for life from VERY primitive times...
