The same is true in sound. Our minds at large create and illusion which we define as reality, based on sight, sound, touch, smell and taste. None of this is real. A tree does not make a noise unless one of us or a similar creature interprets the vibrations given off in it's motion as a sound. This illusion is set up to allow us to survive and maintain the continuity of our genes, by giving us a kind of grid reference to where we are in time and space, and an early warning to danger, but none of it is real...

Wouldn't the vibrations of the air mollicules make a sound?
Right I think I'm going crazy. Anyway, even if we did interpret vibrations and crap (which we do) and thats how we hear trees fall, etc., wouldn't that be the same as a dog's bark or a cat's meow. Aren't you then saying that if no ones around to hear the sound then there is no sound. Then why isn't it the same way for seeing. For example a building is on the corner of a street, if no one is on that street, or in the surounding area (no one can see the building) then is the building really there. Or is that a little off sentence, cause your not saying that the tree isn't there thats that it doesn't make a sound unless someone's around to hear it. But still, why isn't it the smae for sight then?

(Don't mind my spelling, and stupidity in some of my sentences and wording, just..yeah)
