Italian translation:Che rumore fa un albero che cade se non c'è nessuno a "sentire"?

Explanation:
Questa la versione che ho trovato in rete nel sito riportato sotto. Sicuramente, ce ne saranno altre ed il tuo contesto potrebbe dettarti ulteriori variazioni. Ho sentito varie versioni di questo "aforisma", del tipo "If a man is wrong in a forest and no woman is there to hear him, is he still wrong?" Ti auguro di avere sempre ragione!

problema epistemologico

Explanation:
E'una sorta di celia da liceali che si interroga scherzosamente su un problema epistemologico. Qualcosa produce veramente un suono se non c'è nessuno ad ascoltarlo?

Sì è vero ce ne sono diverse versioni. In una si specifica che l'albero cade in una foresta canadese.
