For the chicken, i say egg, I think it was evolution. 2 different species....yeah....

And the tree question, yes, say you dropped a book with your ears plugged, noise is there. You just never heard it.

2 retarded dinosaurs that were part birds of different species with 2 retarded parents each went to bed together and had the first ever chicken egg! egg came first :P my sister had it
and

no because a vibration only becomes a sound when it hits a eardrum

never knew that... but tecnically vibrations ring in different pitches and tecnically that means they count as a 'sound' before they hit the eardrum because they are ringing against different objects.
what if a bird crapped an egg out and it fell out of her nest and she was deaf, would anyone here that? what if you were deaf and a tree fell, would you hear that even though the vibrations hit your eardrums?

These questions are so much fun to discuss! Tho my favorite one of these is this:
A man is all alone out as sea...is he still wrong???
lol (and obviously he is wrong!)

In order:

The dinosaur came first, obviously. Being a direct relative of the chicken, of course. Well, specifically, the egg. One of the surviving dinosaurs laid an egg, the embryo of said egg adapted to its new environment, etc..., and the process went on until the egg holding the first modern day chicken was laid

Hypothetically. That's how I imagine it happened. It is plausible.

And as for the second one...

Never mind, it's been answered.
...hang on, this is a necro'd thread. :S

The answer to the first question is an interesting one. Scientists say it's the chicken, there is an article about it on the wall of my biology classroom wall. I forget the reasons, so I'll get back to you on that.

And a noise is a sound. The definition of a sound is this:

the sensation produced by stimulation of the organs of hearing by vibrations transmitted through the air or other medium.


So unless another animal is around to hear the tree fall, no it does not make a noise.

1: the chicken or some animal had to come first to give birth to the egg.
2: of course it makes sound. If i clap my hands right now u guys couldn't hear it but it still makes a sound.

The egg came first because it can be a dinosaurs. Nobody ever said it had to be a chicken egg. A tree will make a sound too.

necroing old thread ftl.

I have a better question:
If a tree falls, and nobody hears it, does anyone give a shit?

Ok I'll be serious. I'll quote this guy's answer:

of course it makes sound. If i clap my hands right now u guys couldn't hear it but it still makes a sound.
