If a thing does not emit vibration of any form , the thing does not exist .

1) Define a "thing"
2) Define "emit"
3) Define "vibration"

Prove:
* Show that all known things emit vibration.

Disprove:
* Display one case of a thing that does not emit vibration.

The can of Dr Pepper I am now drinking doesn't emit any vibrations on its own, so that theory is proved false.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Does the *thing* have to be the source of the emitted vibration? I mean... any object could emit vibration if you consider reflected light as being emitted vibration.

And a Dr. Pepper can will emit vibration if you squeeze it. The crinkling aluminum produces the vibration of sound waves.

Well, how sensitive do we have to be to the vibration. Protons and Electrons are in motion in atoms. Would there not be some molecular vibration on anything made of this matter?

All things emit vibrations so they exist.(e.g. in the form of heat)
So I'm entering a pub, lots of people, going to meet a friend to have a drink. I look around and I see my friend is not there yet. Can I tell now that my friend exists?
Today is a gift, that's why it is called "The Present".

>Can I tell now that my friend exists?
I think a more interesting question is how many people will question your sanity if you have a friend that you aren't sure exists?
