It makes a soundwave not a noise. The key element inthe hypothesis is "hearing". There's a soundwave but no "crash" "crack" "bang" "boing" or "wallop" "splosh" "splish", "kabam" "kapow" or "skerdump". These are all merely conceptualisations of the differing pitch tone and frequency of the soundwave...

Surely if there is no one around to hear/not hear it make/not make a noise then the tree hasn't actually fallen over in the first place? No one witnessed it; therefore we can't prove it ever happened. :conf: Just film it. The simple act of observing something changes the way that the object behaves...

It depends if you define sound as alternating compressions and rarefactions travelling though air. Or if you define sound as the sensation detected and interpreted by those neurons connected to the hairs in your inner ear which are sensitive to the aformentioned compressions and rarefations of air....

Re: If a tree falls in an empty wood.
Does it make any sound? I see no necessity for ears in this definition: Sound is only a concept created by the action of those waves on a receptor e.g. the eardrum, microphone. Without any receptor then it is just a soundwave which continues until dissipating, like a ripple in a pool when you drop ...

Ziadane has been sent off more times than Roy Keane in his career. Not really a statistic that one would want to have. Well yes, but then Wee Ricky Gardner's been sent off more times than Robbie Savage. Take your point. Lies, damn lies and statistics, but Zidane has always had a violent streak, whi...

Intimidation? Perhaps, but it was violent conduct that he thought he would get away with. Zidane is no saint. Wasn't he sent off for a stamp in the last World Cup? As Martin O'Neill said "well if Matterazi said something nasty to him will that's too bad, because it only happens every 15 seconds on ...

I heard (dunno if its true) that he called Zidane a terrorist or something along those lines in reference to him being Algerian. I just heard that as well. Apparently some girl claiming to be able to lip-read Italian rung a radio phone in in France this morning claiming that he called him a terrori...
