Part 2 - What is Sound, smell, seeing?

Part 2 of a talk about sound, it's definition and requirments. I also talk about our perception of sight and smell. Are things really as they seem? Do our senses tell us the truth?

Thats a fantastic definition. These things are definitely observer dependent and since we (humans) defined the terms (sound, smell, sight) in the first place, I think we should get priority. The sensations that we perceive, fulfill the definition of the terms and ideas that we created and defined. but if a tree falls and a deer, or bee is there to hear it, i think the sensation is similar enough to qualify as "sound". The answer depends on the definitions that we have created and agree upon.

@eledsor17 Yes, it is sound because it is heard by the deer, or bee (do bees have ears?)

Actually, you wouldn't even see the beer and wine. :(

If a man speaks in the forset and no woman can hear him is he still wrong?

If you make beer and noone drinks it, is it really beer?

what about a situation were you inhale through your nose and then through your mouth and you smell or feel the smell, the scent on your tongue, causing it to feel like you're tasting it? please, elaborate...?

I can't believe ...these videos are like...mind blowing. Really...I mean I never had a chance to see and hear such a great explanation on this subject and demystifying of a whole sound/air molecules/vibrations/hearing stuff. Thank you A LOT.
