If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?



Only with Universe Standard and above


Depends on who you ask. Newton would say, "yes". Goethe would say "what do you mean by sound? What if there were two people in different locations? Would they hear the 'same exact' sound?"
