    No it doesn't. In my Anatomy and Physiology class I learned that noise is only heard if a creature with the capability of hearing it is there. A tree falling down is only making sound by pushing the molecules in the air.

    But noise is vibration of molecules. If a tree falls, the air molecules still vibrated, and therefore there was sound with no one to hear it. I think it makes noise.

    Why would you put a tape recorder in a forest? Too bad you can't stick one under water...that would be something. Okay here is a question can you be born a boy but raised a girl? This may be an answerable question but I'm just curious. There was a program on the tele, that is why this question has manifested in this thread.

    Kilted,
    Didn't Bruce Coburn write a song that says that very thing" If a tree falls in the forest does anybody here and didn't it have something to do with his going against wanton waste of trees and clear cutting? Just wondering since you are a fellow shivering Canadian.
    My question and it is one that has bothered me for years:
    Is there really a magical city that socks go to when they escape from the dryer and when you look there is only one left and you know for a fact you put both in.

    thank you Night, I have worried about that for years. It all makes so much sense now that you have told me. Because I would be late getting ready for school and lo both one sock and that all important English essay I laboured over for three nights would be gone-vanished into thin air as it were. I have such peace now knowing they started a new life together and are doing quite well!!!!

    hmmm... interesting just yesterday I opened a jar of body lotion (cocoa and jojoba butter) and I'm positive some was missing. It seems like the last time I used it it was at least half full - no it seems that I'm almost out........
