Clare: Wanna hear a classic Zen riddle, Neil? Neil: Oh, boy! I love riddles! Clare: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" Neil: Well, the person who chopped it down would hear it! Clare: No, Neil... No one chopped it down. Neil: They pushed it? That's a strong person...maybe it's a gorilla! Clare: No, no...there's no one to hear it! Neil: Ooohhh, I get it...they're wearing earplugs. Or maybe they're deaf! Clare: Aarrgh, Neil. When it comes to riddles, you top them all. Neil: I bet it's all the "riddlin" pills I took as a kid!
A falling tree creates pressure waves in the air that become sound when they strike someone’s eardrum. It ain’t sound until you hear it.
