Isla Salas y Gomez en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isla_Salas_y_G%C3%B3mez cannot support people. If it never had been seen, could it be real? The question is not as nonsensical as it must at first seem. It is just a version of the falling tree paradox: if there is no one in the forest to hear, does the fall of the tree make a sound? Common sense says that the answer is immediately obvious. The tree cannot fall without sending forth a wave of compressed air. But a “sound’ that has meaning for our species requires a human to hear that change in the air. A physicist and a biologist together may predict and simulate the fine detail the first crack of the trunk, the ominous susurration of the downward arching canopy falling, the snaps and crashes of the plummeting branches, and the final thump! Of the trunk hitting the ground. But neither the scientist nor anyone else can hear the actual fall. A human or recording device on the scene is necessary. Otherwise the event has no meaning. Nietzsche captured the larger point when he had Zarathustra addressed the Sun: “You great star! What would your happiness be if you had not those for whom you shine! ~ Page 179

Flowers grace our literature, our fashions, our religious ceremonies. They announce our rites of passage and signify our celebrations. Made into boutonnieres and garlands, they advertise our status, our purpose, and our demeanor for the day. The beauty and the scent of flowers did not emerge just for human delectation. Among the plants that produce them, namely the angiosperms (the more than 370,000 species of flowering plants on the word,) their purpose is purely sexual. Flowers serve to attract pollinators, mostly insects, but in addition and according to species, a large array of birds and even a few mammals. The relationship is symbiotic, “mutually symbiotic” to be precise, in which both partners benefit from the relationship ~ Page 150
