Law is simply a moral barrier between humans.
It's the concept of the fittest survive - not the strongest, wises but most adaptable. Many humans forced social barriers so they could survive and would not be killed off. This is simply the adaption they have made to society as a whole.

It rather depends what you classify as sound, or falling. If a deaf person sees the tree fall, will they register 'oh that would've made a sound' even if they haven't heard it or will there be no sound, as they did not hear. Obviously, the tree still made sound, even if the person couldn't hear, so the name of molecules vibrating is sound.

As for falling, it is the concept of something have a gravitational force towards the Earth, but by Newtons third law, there must have been an equal and opposite force back, hence why the Earth also feels gravitational attractions towards the object and moves, even if at a small potential the human eyes can't see. So does it really fall? If the Earth is on it's axis and you are either night or day, whichever is the 'upside down' of the Earth, does the Earth fall to the tree? Of course, this is a ridiculous sounding concept, but a concept none the less.

Hey, I don't think the Earth falling is ridiculous! I think it's a fantastic concept! Everything in the universe has at least a slight gravitational pull... it would make sense, but then again, why aren't we out of orbit or something?

Dang, that is a GOOD way of defining sound. But if they never experience sound, how can they know precisely what would and would not make sound unless they were told? (I've never met anyone actually deaf, so maybe that's why I don't understand...)

But those barriers don't stop people, do they? There are people who absolutely relish standing outside the circle of what's average, some good and some bad.

You're an adult, aren't you?

No, I'm not an adult in the majority of countries.

I'm not sure if inside a deaf person brain they can imagine sounds somehow, as you can experience sound through your teeth and such. I wouldn't know though.
The barriers stop the majority of people though, no? They mentally unable some people though mental issues, arguably, but I don't want to dig too deep into that side of things. The people who love the thrill of breaking the law often do it for the thrill of the chase, similar to how a child enjoys hide and seek. Very few play it for the material gain. Some even get pleasure from losing, similar to some alcoholics.
If you google it, you are actually slowly being pulled closer to the moon. So.. we are going out of orbit. Very, very slowly. You have to take into account the size of plants compared to a pen, which falls fast.

Also, you have 666 profile views.

Hehe, I don't know much, to be honest, but I looked it up and immediately thought of... a meme....

But hey, it's okay if that's what comes to mind. You can nerd out on anything.


Well yeah Dingo Pictures is somewhat famous for the Yee meme from the Italian dub of Dinosaur Adventure. Just asked, because I was curious...

They may stop a majority, but I myself enjoy being outside of societal norms because it helps me see things from... sort of an outside perspective. Like an alien watching Earth.

I thought we were pushing the moon away? I read it in a book some science guy wrote called What If (10/10 would recommend)....

XD It's 671 now (or whenever I checked). Anyway, I don't really believe that stuff, I looked up an explanation. Hebrew numbers and letters are very closely related, the number 666 translates into the name of the leader at the time as well as six hundred and sixty-six.

I never said it didn't happened, it just didn't make a sound. You can walk into the forest later and say, "Oh look at that, a tree fell in the forest." I'm just arguing for the rarely-fought-for argument that the tree did not make a sound by actually defining A POSSIBLE definition of sound and then proving how it does not fit that definition.

Oh okay, sorry, I misread (clearly) ;w;

There is no 'normal'.
It's one of the two, I'm not sure.
I don't believe it either, but found it mildly amusing like my British self does.
