There’s an episode of Family Guy that Peter and Chris go on a “spiritual quest” into the woods and when they stop to rest, one of them asks, “Hey, if a tree falls and no ones around, does it make a sound?” To which all of the now talking trees answer, “Oh hell yes, Scott fell the other day and hasn’t stopped bitching about it since.” Then the trees play the worlds smallest violin.

😂 lol true very true if he says if a rock is hitted and the person feels pain it's just the feeling then guess what why are people able to see the wound and the same stone also if one tree falls and no one hears it then it doesn't exist then what about the person who saw it in future standing and later didn't found it then eventually realised it has fallen then he would probably say that the tree and the fallen tree are different lol 🤣 if he says so why can't I tell my friends that they don't exist

6:08 - I dunno; this idea that if a human being isn't there to perceive something it doesn't exist sounds like someone had a pretty inflated idea of mankind's importance.
9:39 - If a tree falls in the forest, it sends out sound waves, whether anyone is there to perceive them or not.
10:57 - I stand by my answer!
15:05 -Now that's amazing!
@Atman Gotango Then why isn't reality perfect? Few people would create problems for themselves, suffering, etc.
I agree completely with your point about the tree. It is still moving the air waves that would produce the sound of someone was there too perceive it. Therefore yes the sound exists.
@@richardtherichard26 You're right the air would still get displaced but in order for a sound specifically to happen there HAS to be something to percieve it. The sensation that is produced by stimulation of the ears by vibrations transmitted through any medium; that is the definition of a sound. The energy produced and oscillation of the medium around it will happen no matter what, I think that's where people are getting confused.
@@tgbluewolf Do you like playing video games in god mode with no challenge or anything unexpected? Are your dreams perfect places?
@@richardtherichard26 Incorrect. The vibrations exist but the word sound defines the experience of those vibrations going through an ear, sending signals to a brain, and the brain interpreting those signals and then presenting the information to our consciousness as what we call sound. Vibrations are not "sound".
You explained it pretty well. About the Copenhagen thingie: we humans use nightvision in a green tint, meaning that we can see the slight differences of green in darkness much easier than red for example. The reason for that is because our eyes evolved to see predators in the jungle easier. So, everyone's green is the same green. Also, plants are green for a reason too. :)
As well as the fact that we have evolved to see more shades of green than any other color due to the abundance of plant life on our planet.
When that piano played before the words, it sounded like a person talking, then the words were added and my mind was blown.
Yeah I wasn't watching the video I was just listening to it and I could hear people talking it sound like someone talking in another room you couldn't make out words but it sounded like people's voices. When you said it sounds like a cat stuck in a piano I was thinking to myself but it sounds like a bunch of people talking behind a wall.
I think I saw the piano, and expected to hear typical notes from a piano, and my brain removed the distorted background noise. When the words were added, I heard the voice. I think I died a little.
I wasn't that shocked because you spoiled it with your comment.
Rest in pieces then

The whole "if a tree falls in a forest does it make a sound?" thing has always annoyed me; even without the plants "hearing" as it were, the animals still hear trees fall.
It’s not about “hearing” it. The sound of the tree falling is completely independent of an observer.
For me the thing that annoyed me with these kinds of theories is that it's pretty much a self centered act. As if you are thr center of the universe, when in truth the world just moves on regardless of your existence

The question is not "if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound" but rather "if a man speaks his truth in the forest with no woman to hear him, IS HE STILL WRONG." THAT is the question.

Yea... This happens with every video

"If a man speaks up his mind in the woods and no women heard him, is he still wrong?" 🤔
Yes, of course. But being as we're alone when we do it, we get to enjoy the illusion that we are right, since no women were there to correct us. I'd call that idealism.
If a man agrees the woman is right but a man is considered always wrong wouldn't that make the woman wrong if the man is saying shes right?

@@ermacjones4821 I have another one:
In the opening of ROTS, as the opening title recedes and disappears, the first thing we see is the star destroyer. It is COMPLETELY Quiet, NO ships or battle around, yet, after Anakin and Obi-Wan swoop over it, which is really only a few seconds later, there is a full-scale battle where there was none just SECONDS before. How did a major, well-in-progress skirmish just happen to appear in a few seconds from nothing?
As a fallen tree myself, can confirm
It's true, i was the forest
It's true i was a bird in the tree
It’s true, I was, no I still am the now flat squirrel.
It's false, these are CZcams comments
Weak stem?
It’s interesting how the philosopher conditions everything around us to the human perception. By that conclusion, nothing would exist without us, which theoretically creates an existential paradox since, well.. we are not the beginning of things. Before the first conscious human, what then kept things a reality? Better yet, before consciousness, what was? I really love this subject.
not all philosophical schools are like this btw :)
I totally agree with you Cairo , I find all of this topic utterly fascinating 🧐
I love Phil. Too! I would say although your point is right, perception is the differential. A differing beings senses, say a human to a cat, would hear the sound differently, so before humans, most things wouldn’t have been perceived in the form as we perceive them. (Didn’t watch the vid before I commented by the way, but yes, 42 summed it up well!)
The paradox disappears if you believe that there is, and always was a universal consciousness. I have to this point, come to favor a universal consciousness that we are also part of, due in part to the theory behind the double slit experiments.
@@pauldavidson4977 elaborate please why the experiment brought you to that conclusion. I also believe in a universal consciousness (I call it God), but although I am familiar with the experiment, I cannot deduce your reasoning. Thanks
4:03 well that’s funny 🤣
"If a woman spoke in the forest and no one was there to hear her, would her husband still be wrong?"
Her husband is NEVER wrong...lol!
I disagree with conflating “sound” and “hearing”. Sound is the vibration of the physical world, and hearing is an interpretation of that vibration. A falling tree produces sound, regardless of witnesses, who may or may not hear it.
The words "sound" and "hearing" are just fuzzy human concepts. Their meaning is not universal, they are subject to the interpretation of the individual. For you "hearing" is the act of translating vibration, but for others it might simply denote the ability to translate vibrations. For someone who speaks a different language it might be yet another thing. It's just semantics so arguing about it is a bit futile.
@@chraiflame6631 Hey! Yes, it’s true that terms can mean different things, but my real point is that there are (at least) TWO phenomena here: the vibration of the air, and the perception of it by a mind. Using different words for the two makes the conversation more useful, even if someone would prefer different terms from the ones I would use.
The video sort of lumps them together, and I feel like that’s kind of inaccurate.
But you’re right, terms can vary between people and places.
Semantics.
But you're missing the whole point. The question is basically, if some event cannot be perceived, can it be said to have taken place?
@@baruchben-david4196 I understand the point.
Personally, I think that Solipsists don’t exist when I can’t see them, but everything else physical is certainly existing, unless all of our observations of the world are literally contrivances. I don’t assume we are living in the Matrix, or that the entire universe is in service to my mind.
I'm convinced that dandelions hear my lawnmower running and dock for cover to not to be cut.

Not really. I can give you an even simpler example I've pondered for a while: If something needs to produce a sound for me to hear it, and something must be present for me to see it, then how come in my dreams I can see and hear anything; even things I have not experienced?
@@NikkedTruth You are experiencing things in your dreams.
@@neilcreamer8207 you are correct, however my point is that during dreams I am not interacting with the physical world, and yet I can have the same experiences and more. With that in mind, who is to say that what we call reality isn't mostly the construct of your brain?

If someone were to fart alone in a forest, does it make a smell?

“If a tree falls in a forest…” that setup requires the expectation that “There is a tree in a forest.” So, you can’t then say, “No, because there’s no tree.”

When I was 12, I was fishing by myself on a small pond behind my house. I had been there, alone and making few movements and no noise for about 3 hours. Suddenly, movement in the woods caught my eye and I watched with my mouth hanging open as a small, healthy looking green tree fell without making a single sound. I had heard that question/thought experiment before and knew 100% in my 12 year old mind at that moment that no…. if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, it does not make a sound. I knew this because apparently they also do not make a sound if they just think they are alone. Ha!

If the tree has the potential to be heard then it indeed makes a sound.
What level of consciousness does a tree have to detect sound waves. Iis a tree conscious of it's own fall or the fall of it's neighbour.
obviously it won’t make any noise when anyone’s around to save the simulation some processing power, that would be a shit ton of mp3 files of trees falling going to waste

The Copenhagen interpretation relates to the collapse of the wave function whenever a measurement/interaction happens, it doesn't say we all live in our own universe.
Well the waveform is only visible when particles are moving. As soon as you stop the movement the waveform is still there. But you no longer are able to observe that.
The same way a picture doesnt say shit about what happened before and after the moment that picture was taken.
Also the moment we measure something we are pinpoiting a moment in time. Whatever we observe or measure is in that moment alone.
Also recording does not count as something usefull. Cause those are frames per second. All moments in time after eachother.
We simply not able to observe anything else then moments/points in time.

17:22 - Well, I think I differ with you a little there. We "saw" Neptune the minute we saw Uranus. It just took us a while to figure out the details. We really saw both of them long before we consciously realized they were there. The world around us is highly, HIGHLY interconnected (entangled, if you want to talk quantum theory). In some ways perceiving anything is a large step toward perceiving everything in that thing's past light cone, yeah? We may spend our whole life trying to back calculate what those events in the cone must have been, but we indeed have "perceived" them when we perceive any effect that they have caused - even minute ones.
So what this means is that our past light cone is "real." That does NOT mean it had to have been material - science really says NOTHING about reality in that way. Science is ALL about our perceptions. We build models to try to explain our perceptions in ways that are as simple and mathematically elegant as possible. We've done a pretty good job. But you really can't go beyond that - you can't PROVE anything beyond our perceptions.

What a thrilling experience I had having more light shed on the basis of idealism and the question none could give a satisfying answer to,not until psychoacoustics that is.Thanks a million thoughty 2 for another great journey back in time and back to the present.It did prove to me beyond doubt that the perspective from which idealism approached the problem of existence wasn't as flagrantly irrational as I once thought it was.In fact,now I know its pioneer was actually doing laudable lateral thinking by proposing such a theory.However,I got stumped on the way back to our contemporary opinion on the old problem with a question that came to mind. Is it likely that there is an ubiquitous consciousness which facilitates the existence of matter and energy?I mean, are humans and all other intelligent species only secondary observers with respect to a primary observer which possesses ubiquitous nature?In other words,does our perception of things not have any apparent effect on the existence of matter simply ,because of the existence of this primary observer?If yes could we infer that this primary observer is also aware of our emotions,thoughts,the complex mechanisms of life and basically everything know and unknown to society both past present and future to facilitate their existence?I make this somewhat naive proposition simply because I realised that for anything to exist from the perspective of idealism in comparison to the scientific point of view it must be observed.I would be glad to hear your opinion on this.Thanks again thoughty 2 for making me think twice about things onceI 'thought' I fully understood.

Flower heads and petals are like giant radar dishes for sound waves. Plants talk via chemicals and listen to their environment via their leaves and stuff
"stuck a sewing needle in his eye"
doing this voluntarily is mind boggling. I have to get injections in the eye once a month and it isn't pleasant and that is _with_ lidocaine.
One of your best episodes (and I've been watching your work since many years).
Its one of the worst. He mis-uses multiple philosophical terms or confuses them with each other.
Read an article about Descartes and Berkeley and Solipsism and you will be baffled how he butchers the concept.
You literally can't understand Schopenhauer or Hegel if you dont understand the problem of solipsism.
I think it is great as well. Pretty deep and heavy subjects but still presented in a 'light' way so you dont feel depressed after watching.
For that feeling i suggest Vsauce hihi
Lol. I believe it makes a sound, just because you were in the basement all day and didn’t see the sun, doesn’t mean it didn’t shine that day.
I refuse to believe that someone made a scientific breakthrough by shoving a needle into his eye
Why is CZcams turning their backs on small creators that initially made the platform great?
It's time to create competition for CZcams

I’m gonna be honest here. I watch his videos while I fall asleep, and I never get to fully understand what the CZcams video is about
ive seen trees fall naturally... its very very loud. but i now know what it sounds like so I don't have to see it to know a tree fell down when i hear it from far away.
Short answer: yes it does. 🤣
No it doesn't. Sound is a reception of frequency. If there are no ears listening, then the tree made no sound.
Short answer, no it doesn’t. It created atmospheric pressure changed that would require a living organism to have the right sensors, ears, to take the pressure modulation and interpret the modulation as sound.
10:00 - he didn't watch the video
@Truth is here then it made a sound
@Truth is here That's the argument. if NO ears perceive it, then it made no sound.
Arran, as usual I'm hypnotized by both the content and your voice! Thanks for all your work!
If a power pylon jumps rope in the woods, do you hear the thumping? 😆 (if you're confused, just search the GIF)
The felled tree's botanic neighbors are perceiving and responding to vibrations shoving air around them, like Helen Keller did.
Plants react to both positive & negative sounds - Supernature, a book published in the 1970's.
I have several plants which respond amazingly well to positive input, over & abouve their liquid foods, even the type of water used, has benifits - tap water the plants do not like, the Spring water I collect for drinking, gets a much better response. This shows in their flowering, which helps lift the neighbours moods.
I've seen a tree fall iin the forest, tho no sound - to many baffles - trees - + distance, were in the way, though I'm certain any living being in the vacinity, would have heard & felt its fall.
"Existence is subjective, you only know what you receive"
Yes. Human's are not that important. We need to keep our egos in check
Speak for yourself!
Ego is false. Society tells us that we need “success” or “love” to be happy and content. This is false. What we “need” is up to our beliefs, and we can change our beliefs.
@@Theendman42 I need love and success.
