Answer 4

Answer 5

What's up with the language you use? "If a woman nagged..." Huh? Well, whatever nagged means or was supposed to mean (a typo? and btw. it's "no one" not "noone"), I'm sure you know your asking the old chestnut about whether a tree in the forest would makes any noise when it falls if no one were around to hear it.

Richard Feynman, the great physicist, genius, human being,   wrote some funny books ("Surely Your're Joking Mr. Feynman" for example) and serious ones ("Five Not So Easy Pieces" for example); in one of them, he gave me an intellectual tool that solves this question. He would say the question was meaningless. He means it is a waste of time and energy to think about it (similar questions were raised by quantum mecjhanics, check The Double Slit Experiment. Forget that question. It means nothing, it gives nothing, it is not "science" becaus the answer one gives cannot be verified or falsified.

My intutiion or opionion, though, is that yes, it is not necessary for an observer to be present and see the event in order for it to follow the universal (so far as we can tell thus far) laws of physics. How could it not? Why would it not make a noise? The question is metaphysical, philosophical, and again, certainly not sceice (it is simply "belief," rather). A fruitless pursuit. Move on. Google Feynman or double slit experiment to be blown away, if that is what your're looking for.

Answer 6

Only if she fell down or clapped with one hand.

Answer 7

only if she was blond

Answer 8

of course,yes, she would have make a sound.

Answer 9

Yes, and it would be loud and whiney.  And then she'd have to go home and repeat the story to her poor mate and then complain to him that no one was listening to her...

Answer 10

no....becuse the only way sound waves can actully make a sound is if their is somthing sesitive enough to pick up the waves...and if their is nowone or nothing in the forest then no she dosent make a sound

(or to be humorus

no she dosent make a sound unless you listen to your woman nag in the forest)....no....not even a chuckle?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

If a man said something stupid in a room full of women, would anyone notice?

Answer 13

Depends if she's using sign language or maby if she's deaf

Answer 14

sure she did. but the problem is : there is no one who heard the sound. that's it.

Answer 15

Yes, because said woman is there to observe and thereby prove the existence of the sound of the nagging. The fact that nobody else is there does not mean that the old woman (let us assume she is not deaf) was unable to observe the sound. She is, after all, an observer.

Now, if it was nonverbal nagging (body language) it is a different story.

Answer 16

Yes, the woman nagging would hear herself....

Answer 17

Yes, but your level of irritation is directly related to how far you are from this said forest.

And yes, the animals want to smack her too...

Answer 18

what a sicko

Answer 19

If i punched you in the face and broke your nose, and noone was around to see it...could you prove who did it? ;)

Answer 20

depend her age

Answer 21

how bout this.  If a man says something in a forrest and there is no woman around, is he still wrong?

Answer 22

I was going to answer using what I think to be superior impressive speech to make you look stupid, and then I said, no, I can attack your grammar instead. That should make you see me as superior. Or I could name drop but Richard Feynman would say that would not make me look superior if

you didn't know who Richard Feynman was, and no one does, because no one cares who Richard Feynman is.

Now I am left to just letting it go this time and figuring that your intention was humor and not bashing nagging seahags.

I shall return to the basement and find someone else to berate.

Answer 23

yes,she made a sound that noone heard.

Answer 24

How is it that women nag, but men can go on for hours just to make a point? Ladies.. If you have ever been married or had a live-in boyfriend you all know what I mean. Just so ya know ... yes she would make a sound and the trees will listen about as much as the man she was trying to make her point to.

Answer 25

Yes BUT her husband would still be wrong

Oh BTW..the phrase is "no one", It's 2 words

Noone is the lead singer of The Herman's Hermits.
