The absence of an observer does not alter the physical world or the resultant sound waves from episodic events.

If science has yet to find a way to 'measure' something, it will.

That's odd. I do.

For example, the color orange would exist if the entire world was sightless and no one could see it (or any other color). To fully understand "orange" you must have the physical sense of sight. Sure, it can be explained as an expression of light waves, but, ultimately, it's tangible existence cannot be "proved" to a sightless person.

So if we could convert light waves to sound waves you'd agree that it'd be possible for the blind to 'hear' a color? It's already happening so this solution won't be far off.

Yay, science!

Ah yes, briliant logic.

Agreed. Thus, observable or not, it existence is accepted as a given.

Prove it.

It is not odd. It is a acknowledgement of your absolute faith in science.

And, likewise, you would admit they cannot see and, thus, would never perceive orange as a sighted person would. Further, there understanding of orange as anything other than a sound would be totally reliant on the statements of those they believe to have perceived orange as something other than sound.

Could you please sticky it so that folks this page doesn't get lost in the wash of this forum and, instead, is easily accessible to those who have the urge to post their rants in cutesy one liners.
