I'm reminded of the well known philosophers question:
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
I never understood the philosophical meaning behind this question. Of course it made a sound; it's just that no one was there to hear it. How would it not make a sound? Turning it around, how would someone know a tree fell if no one saw it or even knew the tree existed in the first place? To me, worrying about this concept is just a waste of time. It just ends up going in circles because reality is being put aside.
Good points TomK. Say for example someone is around with a dog when a tree falls in Puna, and the resulting vibrations are all above 25 kHz and below 40 kHz.
Did it make a sound?
