Quote by Steven Wright

I saw a tree fall in the woods, and I didn't hear it.


I saw a tree fall in the woods, and I didn't hear it.

Summary

This quote refers to the philosophical thought experiment known as "The Sound of One Hand Clapping." It questions the nature of reality and perception, suggesting that something may not exist or have an impact if it goes unnoticed. In this case, witnessing a tree falling in the woods without hearing the sound emphasizes the idea that an event may occur independently of our observations or awareness. It raises philosophical questions about the relationship between perception, existence, and the limitations of human senses.
