Pseudo-Questions

Pseudo-Questions are questions that cannot be answered. These questions are unanswerable simply because they cannot be supported with evidence. They are meant to be discussed with opinions only and any other method of solving it is impossible. A popular pseudo question is “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it. Does it make a sound?” The question states that no one is around which makes it impossible to know if it makes a sound or not. Therefore no one can really answer this question. If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, it still makes noise. In order to proof this someone has to be absent from a tree falling and still determine if it made a sound. Which is impossible to do. So this question cannot be answered.False Cause happens when one wrongly assumes that two or more events are related simply because they occur in order. This is caused by “ignoring the possibility that there may be a common cause to both things happening, or that the two things in question have no causal relationship at all and their apparent connection is just a coincidence.”
