Question

Question: a branch falls from a tree. There is no one to witness this.. What sound does it make?

Alternatively the tree can fall from the branch.

Give a good answer please. I know all of y’all are closet philosophers. That what K-pop forums are for after all

Reality is never consistent, thus I like your multiple answers. Perhaps the branch shall quack next. We will never know though, . Does the branch also wish to be an autonomous beiing… one day it will be

A rustling sound?

Rationally yes.

But if we wish to take an alternative perspective it could make any sound in the universe but no one would know since no one would be there to perceive it.

That's deep

Hehe. This is not really my observations, its a classic absurdist Philosophy question.

Huh, interesting

As you will come to see. I am taking a philosophy class right now, and so recently all my threads and answers have had much input from what we are learning. It’s both fascinating and strange to view the world in a different light ….sigh

If there is no one to witness said branch falling, it makes no sound.

Or it could make a sound equal to 10q Gigatons of nukes.

It's the same as that cat that is either dead or alive.

Yes. It is very similar.

Quote from Ves

No - think about trolls. No one rushes to the fire unless they see the smoke. They'll rush to the tree only if they see the branches fall. Trolls don't feed off the fire, they feed off you rushing to it. If you don't, there is no noise and the trolls move on to find what will make noise to bring the stampede they crave.

intriguing theory. The branch should make no noise just like trolls should make no noise lol
