Can silence ever be heard?

Can you hear the letters i type after this question mark?


  • Silence

    It is not possable to achieve total silence, for the hearing at any rate,if there is sufficient silence ,it will be interupted by the sound of your heartbeat, and breathing.True silence would have to be even an absence of thought because though technicly you do not use your sense of hearing , you do hear your thoughts.If that could be accomplished, you would lack the intellect to know if you were hearing anything or not.

  • Silentio sonante

    silence is felt with the ears

    ....excellent latin version of 'The Sound Of Silence':

    Salve, nox, me'amica; Redi'ut rursum te loquar. Somnio visio me turbavit. Et tamen anima non quiescit. Quod haec visio qui somnio vidit Manet iam Silentio sonante.

    Inquieta, sole erro Viis angustis sordidis. Algor et umida, lacernam Comprehendo atque corrigo Me'oculi uruntur tunc luce. Nox finditur, Silentio sonante.

    Proditi luce, homines Conspicui ant'oculos Qui sine verbis loquuntur. Non intellegentes, audiunt. Et carmina scribunt; nunquam canunt. Omnes pavunt Silentio sonante.

    Tum clamo eis his verbis: "Nonne vos scitis aegrotas? Audi me; valescatis ergo! Tange m'intelligatis ergo! Dum loquar, periunt mea verba, Silentio sonante.

    Homines luc'adorant, Etsi inclementer lucit. Et dum specto, subito scio Monitum ad populum ferre. Quod fatidica verba Sabura Scriperunt iam, Silentio sonante.
