Yes, there is a sound.
Yes, you are an expert.

Here's a question for you.

If suddenly, every person on the planet could fly like Superman, would it still be a super power?

Here's a question I actually thought of;

if an alien space ship landed, and they told you that they would take you with them, to show you the galaxy, and to learn from them....but you couldn't tell anyone, not even your wife...you would just instantly be gone....would you do it?

Thanks

I think that question is heartless.

I am still in mourning for the turkey we lost last Thursday.

He was a friend of mine, and we had many deep philosophical discussions.....mostly about why you would want to cross the road, and why pork isn't the preferred Thanksgiving meat.

Does "instantly gone" mean never to return? Is this a permanent trade between life on earth and life with the aliens?

My knee-jerk reply was "no thanks". I figured, wouldn't it be akin to becoming an explorer, traveling from place to place to see new things? I wouldn't leave my life now to explore the unknown on this planet. Why would exploring other planets be any different?

But then I thought about what would be different. These are beings with the smarts and technology to come here and take me away with them. I have a feeling traveling with them could be pretty mind-expanding - and although I've sworn never to return to earth, who knows what I'll become capable of in the future, where I can somehow once again touch the lives of those people I love back home.

It's an interesting question. Too bad the alien b@$t@rds only give you 10 seconds to decide.

If you made a joke in that post and nobody thought it was particularly funny, would it still be a joke?

Sad is it not, that we have nothing better to do with our lives than to watch so many endless repeats of Star Trek shows and films that we know and can quote the dialogue. (except Deep Space 9 and Kurt)

I'm as guilty as anyone on that count.

Actually, I don't think that's sad at all. Do you watch Doctor Who? Some of the best writing anywhere. And Star Trek dialog? How can you not smile when you think about it?

In STTNG, I think the first episode, Riker says something like, "Every man at his post, to the bitter end?" And Picard says, "I see nothing so bitter about that".

In Star Trek 6, Scotty says, "...then we are all dead"

Spock says, in complete deadpan, "I've been dead before".

Yes, Australians don't have the unpleasant task of knocking off a Turkeys head for some dark, evil amusement.

I have watched enough Looney Tunes cartoons to know that!

Yes, l only watched Deep Space Nine, for Major Kirra, and the other reasonably attractive one with the overgrown, Alien in training thing in her stomach!

That show almost sent me down the hard drug route, but the war at the end made up for it!

As for Kirra wearing that chain on her ear, how can she fight the aggressors with that thing on?

Only a matter of time before something would grab that? Probably had her ear put back on more times than we can remember?

But Quark was good, well he did end up in a scene in SGA, without the mackup, so!

As for the tree falling thing, l would be more concerned about the butterfly's that got clobbered, who knows how many earthquakes and cyclones that caused?

1) The adjective "super" implies special or outstanding. If everyone had that ability, it would be just normal. Following on from that question, if the laws of physics can be so easily flouted, are they still laws?

2) Yes. But knowledge on that scale that couldn't be shared would be hugely wasteful. And, really, what's the point of knowledge if it can't be shared?

I would have said "Yes" until a few years ago. The point about it being mostly wasted, because it can't be shared, is pretty insightful.

It's something I hadn't considered before.

Another great insight.

I immediately think I would have to go. My curiosity would just be too strong.

But I'm not exploring this world now. Meaning I just found out I was lying to myself.

I will try to be serious here.

About the original sound.

The trick in the question is that a sound is not a sound unless it can be heard. No one hears the tree, so there is no sound.

But the real question is about what the tree makes, ears or no, an' what it will always make is the energy of the sound wave.

But that won't blow out candles unless it is way loud.

So no one wins, except mebbe the tree.

  Weird thing is, if persuasion is (kinda) about imposin' yourself on people, then possession gotta be about superimposing yourself on people, which happens to Claude here alla the time.
  
  So mebbe he is the demonic force we gotta watch out for.
  
  I would certainly not like to possess him (unless he wants to come hoover my apartment).
  
  In the standard possession ritual, you need a whole buncha hard-to-source stuff like holy wafers, goats, and sacred objects.
