A question about chopping a log
If I chop a log and nobody else is there to smell it, has it happened?

Re: A question about chopping a log
There is a very similar philosophical conumdrum that was posed to me when I first went to university--if a tree falls in a forest and there is no one there to hear it is there any noise.My answer?? yes,because the falling of the tree is a physical manifestation and not an abstract one.Try that one for size!!!--back to your chopping!!!!
