If a tree were to fall in a forest...

[Rainbow Dash]

If a tree were to fall in a forest, but no one is there to witness it; did the tree really fall?

Just a debate I got into with my sis.

 

[kunde]

Intuition says "yes"

 

[BlacLord™]

If the tree fell, the tree fell. Simple as that.

 

[Craigeh]

Do you mean does it make a sound, of course it falls, you go back there later and it's on the floor... It fell

 

[S A G E]

You already said it will fall, then it should have.

 

[GreyWizard93]

Did it make a sound though??

 

[Zexion~]

Don't know how these things can be debated or argued, it clearly still physically fell therefore yes it Did indeed fall :|

Its like Saying their isn't other life in the Universe LML

 

[silmarill]

what is this some philosophical question?

like "does vanilla sticks smell like vanilla if there is no1 to smell them" or "is a sound only a sound when someone hears it"

anyway for me if the tree is lying down it means for me it fell down .

 

[BlacLord™]

Did it make a sound though??

Yes, stop with philosophical trash.

You clearly have not heard other variations of this question.

 

[portgas d luffy]

i see your point.

Spoiler

 

[Tingun]

Yes, as it can be discovered by simply going to it's location. It will definitely effect it's surroundings as well.

If your friends/family are elsewhere, does that make you question their existence?

If you can't sense your liver, do you question it being there?

if you don't see or hear the sound of falling it doesn't mean it didn't fell ..

"if u close ur eyes is that banana still lying in front of u"

its all the same question basically

Wtf are you going on about dude?

You haven't head the variation I've heard so your comment wasn't needed and the one I heard doesn't mean tats what everyone knows quite obviously. Your the moron who seems to think that. Enjoy your day man. :ilu:

Fix your grammar, it's hard to understand.

I'm giving examples to show how moronic philosophy can be.

Yes, it would be fun to sit back, light up a doobie, and talk about the possibility of this world just being an illusion. But after the buzz wears off, where does it get you? Live in the real world.
