kooldude i think your missing the point? lol i actually mean unanswerable questions like how do we know if a tree makes a sound in a forest and know one is around

Depends on how you define sound. If sound waves = sound, then yes it does. If sound is the mental state triggurd by vibrations within the ear drum, then no it doesnt.

What's the sound of one hand clapping?

Depend what the second surface is, clapping is the sound produced by 2 flat surfaces hitting each other, nether nessarly has to be a hand.

Is the glass half empty, or half full?

Both

Who was the first person on mars?
- no person has been to mars

Why cant people remember from when they was three
- At the age of 3 many connections in the brain arnt formed yet, becuse of this memoery is stored and accessed in a differnt way to in later life, which results in these memoerys being inaccessable by the memoery recolection methods the brain uses when your older.

How young would you be to drive a mobility scooter
-Age has nothing to do with it, its more to do with mobility

Does the wind make a noise to the trees
- trees aint got ears, so no

Whats the point in guns
- depends who you ask, shooting people is one.

Do teenagers injoy being 'gangsta'
- why else would they do it

why is water wet
-becuse thats a word created to describe the property of liquid thats know as wetness.

nd why is the sky blue.
-Sun rays refract of particals in the atomphear.

Why is night not blue and light not black?
-Blacks the colour we experance when no light is activiting the cones in our eyes, hence why its not really a colour, but a shade instead.

Why is night not blue and light not black?

coz its when our part of the earth is not facing the sun so its black and thats why... also the light wont show the chemicals aswell so = dark.


Why is it that as the earth is rotating if i jumped in the same place (straight up) that i dont land in another place?

Why is it that as the earth is rotating if i jumped in the same place (straight up) that i dont land in another place?

Aha i can answer this one

For one the earth is moving very slow so even if you did move you wouldnt notice it but

You are travelling at the same speed as the earth and s when you jump, you carry on moving with the earth. does that make sense?

Why is it that as the earth is rotating if i jumped in the same place (straight up) that i dont land in another place?

Becuse you are spinning with the earth, the air around you is spinning with the earth as are you, when you jump up, your momentum keeps you moveing at the same speed as the earth, gravirty is only pulling you down, so the other effects on you is any surrounding atompshear and pressureation etc which would put friction and slow movement in any other direction, hence maintaining your position. (ish)

edit: JimboJosh explination is probably clearer, although i wouldnt say the earth is spinning slowly, at mid latitudes its still around 700-900 MPH
