Questioning Realities Existence.

[Red-White-Light]

If a tree fell in the forest and there was nobody there to see it, would it make a sound? 

If an entire reality existed and there was no consciousness to perceive it, would it exist?

Sound seems to depend on consciousness. Consciousness is independent of people, so it's possible to have sound with people per se. But at the same time, the conscious experience of sound is simultaneous withthe sound occurring. So in that sense the sound depends on the conscious witness.  

Are there supposed to be clear definite answers to paradoxes like this? How do you know when you solved one?

Reality and consciousness are eqivalent. There would be no reality without consciousness, and there would be no consciousness without reality. But thankfully consciousness is ever present and outside the chain of causality, so you can't have it any either way.

Because Reality Exists, you can Question Realities Existence.

@Red-White-Light Reality cannot exist without consciousness. Reality is consciousness.
