| 'ive always thought the point of this question was, if there's no way to establish whether there was a sound, then it ultimately doesn't matter. In fact, you could say that the definition of a sound is its detection, rather than the physical phenomenon. Of course, once we develop an instrument that can detect vibrations we couldn't otherwise hear, a previously non-existent sound comes into being. | |

Yes that's right. Supposedly the same goes for light and matter particles also, as proven with the famous 'double slit experiment'. Thought this was one of the better videos from Icke, though most are good anyway.  | |
