If a tree falls...

how do you know it didnt grow sideways with a few roots in the air

 

What if it really did fall but not hit anything... then it just floated away...

 

of course it makes a sound,i just clapped with my hands but no one didnt hear it because i'm alone in my home. And same is with the tree.

 

YOU heard your hands...

If consciousness is a basic state of matter or a fundamental part of the structure of the universe... then there is always an observer so we can never get a sample from a place without an observer because such a place does not exist.

 

not true. i didn't hear it. i suspect everyone didn't hear it other than you.

 

yes ... lol

 

What if it fell into a parallel universe where sound is a colour?

 

I've been there, Man... What a trip.

 

What if that is this universe?

The essence of our senses is merely different forms of touch.

Our fingers... touch
Our tongue... touches tastes
Our ears... touch sound waves / vibrations
Our nose... touches particles of substances
Our eyes... touch electromagnetic wave vibration

It's like our eyes are reaching out to touch what our hands cannot :sunny:

Me too - I've had all melt into one :sunny:

 

Then you obviously had some good stuff :bobby:

 

now your just being silly

 

What if this tree is an alien that just LOOKS like a fallen tree?

 

So, you're saying it's an alien that just looks like a tree that has fallen into another another dimension where sound is colors... But only is you are doing the right drugs.


But what if you're the one that doesn't hear it fall and I'm the one doing the right drugs...




Wait!


I think my mind just melted.

 

What if the tree is you?

 

Are you calling me an alien?

 

Yes

... and I'm calling you a tree

... and I'm calling you a me

... and I'm calling you a bee

... and I'm calling you a flea

... and I'm calling you a deity(eeeee)


:sunny:

 

Depends, would I still have ears?

 

What are ears but a guide to touch the vibration of pressure waves?

Sound can be felt by other parts of your body, sound can be felt by trees.

Everything has "ears" - they just don't all look like ours :afro:

 

I'm aware but the thread is about hearing sound so I thought let's focus on that

 

Hearing IS touching.

All senses are various forms of touch.
