minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish13•5 days agoIt does (ok, one catch: if there’s an atmosphere), sound has physical nature. The trick is in asking whether music/art/languages exist after any sentient life is gone

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•5 days agoNo, there is a well-known experiment: take something that produces sound, put in a glass, suck air out. Won’t hear a thing
