How is it that we can play back sounds in our heads?
I'm a musician and I can compose works in my head. It's a mystery to me why I can hear sound, but bypass my ears.
"If a tree falls in the woods..." Hell, I can hear them all.
Quantum physics sounds retarded.
If I'm not looking at a tree, it's not there? That's about as absurd as looking at a nothing and seeing a tree.
Quantum physics puts a lot of weight on sight = existence. I think it's bull. Bats scream at things and paint pictures in their head of where...
There's no need, it's already defined:
Sound is a traveling wave.
Perception of sound is called hearing.
Here's where I'm going with this...
A cat says: "_____" and a dog says: "______". You just played it in your head right? That proves that we don't need ears to "hear". The hearing...
Ah, but I DO know about these trees falling...
I don't know exactly where they are, what time they fell or what they look like- but I am aware of the theory of trees falling or not falling and my imagination (or whatever it's called) took that into account, recreated and played back that sound...
I'm trying to put an end this age old question, but I want to translate it into form of an equation.
SOME SAY: No, because "sound" is ears interpretation of those waves.
I SAY: Yes, because it makes a "sound" (as defined by the vibrations). I'm going by textbook definition. It makes sound...
