Vacuumous question

[Nightshift]

If, according to Alien Quadrilogy, "in space, no one can hear you scream", then, if a tree fell on the moon would it make any sound? The answer is not 42 but, "of course not, there are no tree's on the moon", I looked and have confirmed this to be so.

:P It's after midnight, I am going to bed. :o

No there is no air on the moon so no one would hear it.

what if the american flag on the moon fell over tho?
oh hang on, that was a hoax! :P

Ahh ...but...if a tree (imported of course :) ) fell and you had your helmet in contact with the ground or a rock, would the thud of imact with the ground transfer through to your helmet and be heard?

[rumples riot]

You would feel the vibration and see the image but there would be no sound.:P

Ahh but isn't that what sound is, vibration. Helmet vibrates:anaut: , causing air in helmet to vibrate ...voila ....sound :D

But knowing NASA they probably have so much padding in the helmet to prevent vibration simply to frustrate me so I can't prove my theory :nerd: :einstein: :P

reminds me of a joke:
"if a man says something in a forest and theres no women around to hear him, is he still wrong?"
;)

Works with motorbike helmets Paul, padding and all. Touch the hemets together as your riding and you can hear each other pretty well.



Dunno about that. I heard heaps of screaming during the Alien movies :p

I want to volunteer to test this theory. Would someone second my own nomination to Nasa please. Or at least contact the Enterprise so I can get a lift.:ship1:

You don't even need the air in your helmet to vibrate (although you might have some pressure problems without the air :) ). Having your skull vibrate will let you hear. Also, the hearing of low frequencies is supplemented with feeling them with the rest of your bodies.
