After my motorcycle accident, I was casted and bandaged from head to toe.
Only my left eye was uncovered. I asked the doc how I was doing, and he said, "I don't like the looks of that eye." Scout "katysails" wrote In one eye and caan't see outta da other |

You are assuming it is traveling through air? LOL! BB |

Definition of "sound," noun 1 a : a particular auditory impression : TONE b : the sensation perceived by the sense of hearing So know ever if a tape recorder records the foghorn it didn't make a "sound." And if there is no one to hear it on playback, the tape recorder will not make a "sound" either. "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... What if there's a tape recorder taping it? Scotty "jlrogers" wrote in message . .. No, it does not. "katysails" wrote in message ... If a horn blows in the fog, and there is nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Aren't higher frequencies more directional than lower frequencies? "katysails" wrote in message ... Anyway, Katy claims she's not highly strung enougn. I'm a contralto/mezzo, for the luvaPete....have some mercy.... |

: the foghorn *still* made it's sound, even if you weren't there to hear it. Actually, current thinking is that not only did teh foghorn not make a sound, the foghorn itself doesn't even exist in any way until someone hears, sees, feels or otherwise senses it. It only has the potential to exist. Bertie Prof. Scott "jlrogers" wrote in message ...
