A certain philosopher inquired," If a tree falls in a forest, nobody hears it, does it make a sound?" Academically speaking, the answer could be either yes and no, it is just a matter of interpretation. According to dictionary.com, there is a multifold of definitions for sound; there are two definitions that directly satiates the query, of which are," 1. The sensation produced by stimulation of the organs of hearing by vibrations transmitted through the air or other medium; 5.any auditory effect; any audible vibrational disturbance." The first one would support the answer, yes, because if a tree falls in a forest, a vibration is exerted. However the fifth one can consolidate for the answer, no, because it states that sound is something that is heard. Emotionally, when I hear this question, I automatically say YES. I was thinking of the idea of definition 1 but I did not know how to express in words because I didn't understand the scientific reasoning of it and the determined meaning of sound. The questions we ask ourselves are shaped by language, which was just created over time by a human being. The knowledge that we stir up by ourselves is not considered reliable, people only believe us if there is an actual definition or theory. Because humans are social creatures, our way of expression is reshaped by society and education.
There is an unquestionable, perpetual breadth of knowledge that is derived from within which justifies originality and pristine creativity. If people did not own innate, predisposed knowledge there would never be new inventions. People utilize their education to assist their primary knowledge. Knowledge is synthetically formed from both the inside and the outside. However every form of education was created by an instinctive knowledge.
