No, only vibrations caused by friction of atoms banging together.

The ear translates it into something to which the brain can make sense of; thus: sound.

Without the machinary to make sense of the vibrations, be just have friction, energy and heat (tiny amount).

A falling tree with nothing around to pick up the vibrations will mean none of the vibrations are translated into sound.

That's my take on it anyway.

Hmmm. A man who believes the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum physics and not the Many Worlds Interpretation, then.

So what makes you think it would make a sound unless someone was there to observe the sound?

If a man says something, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

God yeah. You'd better learn that one quickly.

This is great Wazzmeister!

You see, as you age, the more high frequencies are less audible, making sound -the tree falling- change. Hearing the same tree fall in the exact same way, in the exact same conditions will mean it will sound different hearing it as a 5 year old, than it would hearing it as a 40 year old.

The sound vibrations are exactly the same and recording equipment would make this obvious. So, if the vibrations created are the same, but we hear a different sound, it means the conversion process has changed, and the sound is created within the hearing process, and not from the falling tree.

Falling tree = vibrations

Vibrations + ear = sound

Vibrations - ear = vibrations


Hows that?!

The last equation should be:

sound - ear = vibrations

Duh!
