If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, dose it make a sound?

Sound is caused by vibration so when the tree falls and hits the ground there will be vibration causing sound in the area around it depending on how strong the vibration is... Are you saying because you are not around the tree is not there? Then there wouldn't be a tree to begin with, and that's ridiculous. [/quote] The tree causes vibrations, but they are not sound out there, just vibrations. It's the same with all the senses. What we experience is not the same as what is out there and all our sense experience is happening in the mind. [/quote]

Imagine for a minute if you will; you we're able to disconnect all of your senses absolutely no sight absolutely no sound absolutely no taste absolutely no smell and absolutely no feeling.
Where are you?
Are you still you?
Do you still exist?
Let's say some comes and shoots you in the head while you are laying there wherever.
You don't hear the shot fired you don't feel the bullet penetrating your skin you don't smell the sulfur from the round you don't see into the persons eyes that's pulling the trigger.
Do you still die?
How would you know?
