Here's one I've only ever gotten one satisfactory answer to:

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody's around to hear it, does it make a sound?

The tree will not make a sound unless an animal with working ears is around to convert the vibrations in the air into what is properly determined to be "sound".
It isn't sound until it enters an ear and is converted into such an experience.

Why am I the greatest person in the history of the universe?

Because that Narcissitic bastard in your head told you that you weren't, AND YOU PROVED HIM WRONG!

Incorrect: The sound understood as the colliding of different molecules in the space in forms of waves exists with or without any animal or person that receives that information in their ears. So yes, the tree makes a sound even if noone is around to hear it.

sound 1
n.
1.
a. Vibrations transmitted through an elastic solid or a liquid or gas, with frequencies in the approximate range of 20 to 20,000 hertz, capable of being detected by human organs of hearing.

did you read that? "capable of being detected by human organs of hearing"
and if nobody is around to hear it, then it can't be detected by human organs of hearing,

the dictionary rules over everything.

what is the meaning of life?

One's own thoughts on the matter
One is tired of this play, this tragedy of a life but the anwser to the age-old guestion is*To survive, to evolve, to continue striving towards higher goals* and therefor as a great artist once said ,,The show must go on'' . Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben- We must live or we die. And so we must continue playing our parts in this play, paradise on our right, hell on our left and the angel of Death behind us.

Dictonary is correct however, The Vibrations are still made when the tree falls and if a microphone was there it would pick up the sound.

So I am going with the it still makes a sound party sorry.

Of course it makes a sound. Sound is a wave. Just because nobody is there to convert it into an electrical signal doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

That is a ridiculous argument. You say that unless a HUMAN can hear it, sound doesn't exist. Animals can hear frequencies humans cannot, does that mean what they hear isn't sound but...something....else..?

1. How awesome am I?
2. Duke Nukem vs. Chuck Norris. Result?
3. How is the problem of free will addressed in philosophical determinism, and in what way would this affect every day decision making for the average felon/melon farmer?

1. Enough to come up with that question
2. Chuck Norris devours duke's soul and increases his awesome past infinity
3. Free will is an illusion, for any decision that is made, was going to be made in the first place (in determinism at least, if I'm not misinterpreting your question) and it means that felons and melon farmers, are doing exactly what they're supposed to do.

The principle of relativity states that there is no preferred inertial reference frame, but how do we know there is no preferred inertial reference frame? What would change in current physical theories if there were an absolute frame of reference against which all other inertial frames could be measured?
