Re: When Does a Meteorite become a Meteorite?



Tom [et al.]

I agree with you all the way, except when it comes to the ground. There
it should be a "meteorite" whether we find it or not! That brings back
the Philosophy 101 argument: When a tree falls in the forest and no one
is there to hear it, does it make a noise? Answer: Define noise! It all
depends on your definiton (semantics). My commonsensical answer would be
"yes," because I would tend to define noise as sound waves. If your
definition of "noise" includes an ear to detect the sound waves, then
your answer would be "no."--Richard
