Another similar topic is can we think without language, i.e can babies think?ThomasMorgan wrote:
Actually, this is kind of interesting. If humans had no ears, would sound still exist?
Perhaps there are senses other than taste, touch, smell, sight, and sound that we don't know about...how do we know and can prove they exist?
This could also bring up the question of time. Time is a manmade thing, so does it actually exist?
If you feel it, that's a tactile sensation, not audial.i3igpete wrote:
yes sound would still exist. you can feel bass.
How do you know that, maybe the sound only exists to humans.PspRpg-7 wrote:
Well, just because nothing is around to receive the sound that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
No, I don't know it for sure...But what about the sound wave?..teddy..jimmy wrote:

To you, it wouldn't make a noise, since you are incapable of hearing, but yes, it would make a sound...teddy..jimmy wrote:

False. Dogs, cats, and pretty much every animal can hear...teddy..jimmy wrote:

Yes, you can detect audible vibrations through other means...teddy..jimmy wrote:
You have probably heard this one before but lets debate it nonetheless.

Yes, sounds can go unheard. Sounds happen around us everyday that are incapable of being picked up or interpreted by the human ear.

The egg - dinosaurs were the prehistoric ancestors of birds, and they laid eggs long before chickens were aroundusmarine2005 wrote:

As for the question about a tree falling in the forest, it only seems difficult to answer because we commonly associate an occurrence of noise with an experience of noise. They are different things, and can exist independently of each other; the things we associate with a tree falling in the forest, namely the sound of branches breaking, the sight of the tree falling, etc., are only our cognitive interpretations of an event in the physical world, and so those things are not necessarily part and parcel of the actual event of the falling tree. I encourage anyone interested in questions like this to check out John Heil's introductory book on the philosophy of mind. It's a good primer if you're into things like cognitive science
If that woman is in the woods, then she can hear herself. So yes.CoronadoSEAL wrote:

Yes, women always make noise, duh....CoronadoSEAL wrote:

Yes, you are deaf, so you won't hear it. But what if someone else is next to you. He/she will hear it so it will make a sound.If you are deaf and a tree falls in the woods will it make a sound?
