comrade acurion 120 Well i belive that the sepecific question is retorical so there fore has or is not ment to have an answer though here is somthing more Philisophical you can ponder your brains on "If a Box at any one period or place existed and no one knew it existed would it exist?" My point is that it is inimportant because the existence of the box in question is moo tbecause if know one knows about it then if it is there is or if the tree makes a sound is futile.

This question entirely depends on your definition of sound. No, not Oxford's or Wikipedia's definition, yours. If you believe that sound does not need to be heard to be there, than it exists. If you believe the contrary, than it does not.
There is no way to prove it, either way.

Demon Kagerou The full implication of the tree falling in the woods can also be asked with this question: who were you before you were born? are you refering to buddhist reincarnation?

If sounds are listened to, then if a tree falls in a forest, it needs a listener in order to make a sound. Someone might say, "Well, there are vibrations in the air." But if there is no one to note those vibrations, you can't say they are there. The philosopher, Berkeley, believed that if a tree falls in a forest, it does make a sound because God is there to hear it. He requires God for metaphysical rather than religious reasons. Without God constantly perceiving (hearing, seeing the universe), the world would be constantly going in and out of existence. Weird stuff, if you ask me. ^_^

You can't say something exists without proof it exists. If there is no memory of the sound, the sound can't have happened. Only if beings are there to perceive it can it be said to exist. Existence exists only in memory. Without memory, non-existance begins. Therefore, it does not make a sound if no one hears it, because no one remembers hearing it.

Wait technically aren't isn't sound as our ears perceive the sound waves? If there were no ears ot translate them to sound they wouldn't make a sound...
I could be completely wrong with that point, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading that somewhere....
