a falling tree makes sound waves but not sound. sounds are what our brain perceive sound waves to be. they are defined as internal representations of the world. without our brain to perceive the incomin sound waves, there is no sound. unless, we are at the forest to hear the sound waves the fallin tree makes, there is technically no sound.

tats what i learnt in my biological psychology class. interesting, isnt it?

i am now reading a book entitled Science of Harry Potter. it discusses the feasibility of floo powder, portkey, nimbus 2000 and all the magical phenomenon. and also how us muggles have managed to develop stuff close to wat the wizards have done.
