Yes. Conservation of energy. That's not the point! Is this serious to you people? Where's all the potential energy gonna go? Huh? Earlier... If a tree falls in the woods and no one's around to hear, does it make a sound?

Pretty arrogant of people to think that if somebody doesn’t hear a noise then that noise could not have happened… another case of men erroneously assuming superiority over physics and nature…
