    Well I have a ticket and still not sure I want to drive to Bridgeview. Put it up on stubhub for like $40 just to see if some moron bites. Put my Five finger death punch ticket up there too. Not suffering another summer concert for anything less than Judas Priest or Ozzy Osbourne in Tinley

    Fire v. Philadelphia Union

    Will there be $2.00 hot dogs, as well?!?

    This is hilarious, like them advertising the next home match on ESPN+ against Toronto on June 21st instead of July 21st. I can't believe how often mistakes like this happen.

    If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

    Yes, yes it does.
    It still produces the sound waves and the sound waves are "sound," not the reception of said waves.
    Also, if it is the reception of said waves that would be what we consider "sound," it does not matter that "no one is there" to hear it, there are millions of creatures in the woods every single section that would be capable of receiving said waves.

    This is not the "Science and Education Thread"?
    Oh, sorry

    Edit: Nope, wrong, this forest is in the near-vacuum of space. There's never ANY sound as the universe expands and the asymptotic energy level approaches zero, all motion slows as the gradual heat death reaches it's eternal almost nothingness.

    This is "The depressing Science and Education Thread" right?

    Universe

    EDIT
    SHARE



    The Universe is a very big thing that contains a great number of planets and a great number of beings. It is Everything. What we live in. All around us. The lot. Not nothing. It is quite difficult to actually define what the Universe means, but fortunately the Guide doesn't worry about that and just gives us some useful information to live in it.

    Contents
    [show]
    AreaEdit
    The area of the Universe is infinite. Infinity is a hard concept to grasp; the Guide gives us this definition:

    Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real 'wow, that's big', time. Infinity is just so big that by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here.

    ImportsEdit
    None. This is a by-product of infinity; it is impossible to import things into something that has infinite volume because by definition there is no outside to import things from.

    ExportsEdit
    None, for similar reasons as imports.

    PopulationEdit
    None. Although you might see people from time to time, they are most likely products of your imagination. Simple mathematics tells us that the population of the Universe must be zero. Why? Well given that the volume of the universe is infinite there must be an infinite number of worlds. But not all of them are populated; therefore only a finite number are. Any finite number divided by infinity is as close to zero as makes no odds, therefore we can round the average population of the Universe to zero, and so the total population must be zero.

    Monetary unitsEdit
    Although there are three major units, (The Altairian Dollar, the Flainian Pobble Bead and the Triganic Pu) none of them count. The Altarian Dollar has recently collapsed, (again) the Flainian Pobble Bead is only exchangeable for other Flainian Pobble Beads, and the Triganic Pu has its own very special problems. Its exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. From this basic premise it is very simple to prove that the Galactibanks are also the product of a deranged imagination.

    ArtEdit
    None. Because the function of art is to hold a mirror up to nature there can be no art because the Universe is infinite which means there simply isn't a mirror big enough.

    SexEdit
    None. Well, in fact there is an awful lot of this, largely because of the total lack of money, trade, banks, art or anything else that might keep all the nonexistent people of the Universe occupied. However, it is not worth embarking on a long discussion of it now because it really is terribly complicated. For further information see GUIDE Chapters seven, nine, ten, eleven, fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, nineteen, twenty-one to eighty-four inclusive, and in fact most of the rest of the Guide.

    If that were the case "near vacuum of space," how did the tree grow to a height that falling would make any appreciable sounds waves?

    Sound generation is the least of the tree's problem.

    -Trees may "consume" CO2 and release Oxygen as part of their respiration cycles, but they do need Oxygen to grow.
    If there is no Oxygen, the tree would not grow.

    -Also, the near vacuum of space would be too cold for the tree's cells to survive and reproduce. The vaccum of space is as cold a 2.7 kelvin or -270.45 Celsius. Even the hardiest evergreen conifer would quickly freeze solid and die.

    -Finally, in 99.99999% (roughly) of space, there would not be enough star light to allow photosynthesis to take place. There are places here on earth (in caves, deep ocean, etc.) were photosynthesis is impossible. Space is a whole lot of darkness.

    Science!

    The forest was grown in Idaho, then Elon Musk shipped it to space.

    If those woods are in Bridgeview N-Rod would ban all sound because it is unsafe.

    I was so pissed off when Accam scored that I left.

    I was in the car, out of the parking lot, and halfway up Harlem prior to any fireworks
    (there was announcement that were not beginning until 10 minutes after the game).

    I was at the White Sox game Friday and their fireworks were pretty good.
    They started about 45 seconds after the team left the field after a rare win.
    A few high-fives among the players, they headed to the locker room and the lights went off.
    Fireworks lasted about 12 minutes and were pretty good.

    There are many more Louisville fans here than Fire fans - and they are loud. This is a home match for Louisville

    6 minutes in and Louisville looks pretty composed.
