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

Somehow I knew you were going to end on the tree-falling allegory. You're talking about a different question: "Can we experience infinity?" The clear answer to that is No, and it does not even need a discussion. Once again, I interpret the question differently. If we're to discuss this perhaps we need to start by making a more specific question that we can all agree on.
