There’s an episode of Family Guy that Peter and Chris go on a “spiritual quest” into the woods and when they stop to rest, one of them asks, “Hey, if a tree falls and no ones around, does it make a sound?” To which all of the now talking trees answer, “Oh hell yes, Scott fell the other day and hasn’t stopped bitching about it since.” Then the trees play the worlds smallest violin. Hilarious. 😂

The words "sound" and "hearing" are just fuzzy human concepts. Their meaning is not universal, they are subject to the interpretation of the individual. For you "hearing" is the act of translating vibration, but for others it might simply denote the ability to translate vibrations. For someone who speaks a different language it might be yet another thing. It's just semantics so arguing about it is a bit futile.

I had heard that question/thought experiment before and knew 100% in my 12 year old mind at that moment that no…. if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, it does not make a sound.

Descartes work was “Meditations” rather than “Mediations”. Love your channel.

"If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" This is like saying, "if I didn't experience it, it didn't happen." Yes. Yes it does. My uncle had a GardePro trail cam placed in the woods of his 8 acre farm, at the time, loving to catch nature in their natural settings (wild turkeys, deer, skunks, racoons and opossums) when one morning his trail camera caught an old dead maple tree fall, and though we caught about 3 feet of the top of the tree land 15-20 feet from the trail cam, after seeing the downed tree, walking out to routinely check on the trail cam, we wanted to see if we caught when the tree fell, and lo and behold we did...though we only got the top of the the 30 foot tree, the video caught the noises before and after the tree landed. First, There was a very loud crack, like a large fire cracker then a loud sweeping sound when the tree fell through other neighboring trees and a loud thud when it landed, shaking the trail cam, too. So, technically or officially, no one was around. I'm trying to find this video to share it, here. To Prove no one was around and it still made a noise.

but the 'sound' the tree made was only there because that trail cam had a sound recording device, similar to the human ear it senses vibration in the air and transmits or stores that information as an electrical signal. when you review the footage, that electrical signal is displayed through speakers which turn it to air vibrations again, which in turn your ear can perceive and send that information to your brain which interpretes it as 'sound'

Yes! some one else finally said what I always say. It would make a noise. A sound is how it is perceived after someone hears it. Just my theory.

awesome video mate.

I listened to this in the background, whilst doing some editing work; sort of like you would a podcast. I did not see the words on the screen at the part with the digital piano, yet I did hear the words (most of them, anyway). I therefore deduce that this particular piece of audio does in fact include those words and it is not just down to visual perception influencing the brain.

Short answer: yes it does. 🤣

The Copenhagen interpretation relates to the collapse of the wave function whenever a measurement/interaction happens, it doesn't say we all live in our own universe.

Well the waveform is only visible when particles are moving. As soon as you stop the movement the waveform is still there. But you no longer are able to observe that. The same way a picture doesnt say shit about what happened before and after the moment that picture was taken. Also the moment we measure something we are pinpoiting a moment in time. Whatever we observe or measure is in that moment alone. Also recording does not count as something usefull. Cause those are frames per second. All moments in time after eachother. We simply not able to observe anything else then moments/points in time.

The Copenhagen interpretation only works if you don't look at it too closely...

Yes it creates a sound, depending on how intense the release of energy the sound waves will travel further until it's perceived by a sound perceiving device if strong enough waves. Like a tunder sometime you don't see the light, but hear the sound.

Great stuff.

There's also the double slit experiment which shows that, rather than us perceiving reality because it exists, reality exists because we perceive it. Praise be to the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Thoughty2: "The old question nobody has been able to answer" Me: do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

“One of the recurring philosophical questions is: "Does a falling tree in the forest make a sound when there is no one to hear?" Which says something about the nature of philosophers, because there is always someone in a forest. It may only be a badger, wondering what that cracking noise was, or a squirrel a bit puzzled by all the scenery going upwards, but someone.” ― Terry Pratchett

As I keep watching this video the more I realise you only see/hear/feel things only if you are aware of them... A tree can fall behind you and you won't hear it if you are focused on something else

13:09 lol…what’s even funnier about this is that once you know there are words there…you hear them without reading them…not being primed to receive something as communication in an unexpected form causes you to receive it for what it is primed as…I’m a big sound person…I clicked this not anticipating it to be about sound…and almost got bored until this part…I expected it to be something I am familiar with because I’m big on philosophy too…but I’m more fascinated by philosophy than sound…as sound has been a profession of mine for 24 years of my 35 year life…I’m glad something fascinating happened

"stuck a sewing needle in his eye" doing this voluntarily is mind boggling. I have to get injections in the eye once a month and it isn't pleasant and that is _with_ lidocaine.

I believe it does make a sound as there are always animals in the forest. I know that we humans are not the only beings that matter here.

What a thrilling experience I had having more light shed on the basis of idealism and the question none could give a satisfying answer to,not until psychoacoustics that is.Thanks a million thoughty 2 for another great journey back in time and back to the present.It did prove to me beyond doubt that the perspective from which idealism approached the problem of existence wasn't as flagrantly irrational as I once thought it was.In fact,now I know its pioneer was actually doing laudable lateral thinking by proposing such a theory.However,I got stumped on the way back to our contemporary opinion on the old problem with a question that came to mind. Is it likely that there is an ubiquitous consciousness which facilitates the existence of matter and energy?I mean, are humans and all other intelligent species only secondary observers with respect to a primary observer which possesses ubiquitous nature?In other words,does our perception of things not have any apparent effect on the existence of matter simply ,because of the existence of this primary observer?If yes could we infer that this primary observer is also aware of our emotions,thoughts,the complex mechanisms of life and basically everything know and unknown to society both past present and future to facilitate their existence?I make this somewhat naive proposition simply because I realised that for anything to exist from the perspective of idealism in comparison to the scientific point of view it must be observed.I would be glad to hear your opinion on this.Thanks again thoughty 2 for making me think twice about things onceI 'thought' I fully understood.
