If.a tree falls in the forest and no one sees it did it really happen?

this is not the answer I expected but it will do. 

AI Overview

Yes, the tree really falls and happens in physical reality, even if no one is there to see or hear it.

The Scientific View

Physical Proof: Gravity pulls the tree down, and it breaks the ground and other plants.
Recorded Evidence: Instruments like microphones or seismic sensors can detect the vibrations and sound waves it makes.
Independent Nature: The physical universe operates by natural laws regardless of human presence.

The Philosophical View

Realism: This school of thought says objects and events exist independently of our senses. The tree is real whether we look at it or not.
Idealism: Philosopher George Berkeley argued that physical objects only exist as ideas in a mind. Under this strict view, an unobserved event has no mental reality, though modern science rejects this idea.
