You sparked my interest as I thought the answer was a portrait of himself until you said it was his son!
This link breaks it down well and seems to think the answer is himself. What do you reckon?
This will be fun.

I think youâve misread it.
This is the last line of the solution youâve linked.
Which means I (me) am that manâs father.
The correct and accepted nomenclature is: â10. Darren Bewickâ
However, this is an excellent answer.

So physicists are unscientific ignoramuses?
Do you think a poo isnât brown if no one looks at it before itâs flushed?
ergo if a tree falls in the forest, does it make any sound?
The correct answer is not if there isnât anyone there to hear it.

Who is discussing hallucinations? No one apart from people who would prefer to bring a straw man into the topic. I guess.
Are you really suggesting that I donât know that a colour is an objectively measurable wavelength?
If you read my post with any objectively measurable intelligence you would see that I was saying exactly that! And then the brain interprets that wavelength and sees the colour red. Unless, the brain is defective in that area. Then even though the colour is red it sees it as black, white, grey or whatever. Meaning that the experience of seeing a colour is internal not external.
No it doesnât because your link is dealing with just one part of the riddle. It is not the answer to the riddle at all. Who is my fatherâs son? Me. But the âmeâ is the one looking at the portrait and saying, in other words, I am that manâs father. What man? The one in the portrait, his son.
Mero, my old friend. you are living proof that there is some sanity and intelligence on Bomberblitz occasionally.

No, unscientific ignoramuses are people who argue against someone who is referring to, and using as proof of his argument, a quotation of the physicistsâ perspective.
So if sound shatters a glass, did that sound not exist if no person heard it?
The vibrations through the air are causing the glass to break
I guess it all depends on where you say sound starts. Does sound start at the beginning of the vibrations, or does it start when those vibrations meet an object capable of translating them?

Excellent answer, Davo. Thanks!
Well sound of course canât propagate in a vacuum, sound waves only travel in media, so they are ALWAYS causing something to move. The glass is just obviousâŚ

The glass is just obvious?
The shattered glass is the obvious manifestation of the existence of sound ( with no listener). The sound would have (without a glass) still have caused movement of particles in the air, but it wouldnât be visibly obvious to an observers eyes.
Can someone explain to me where space ends?
Correct.
So again I guess it depends on where you draw the line of âsoundâ. Is it sound before we hear it? Iâd argue not, but the ingredients of sound are there obviously.
