Events are things that happened, happening and those that are already planned (and some by accident) to happen in the nearest future. What makes an event 'event' is the fact that it is recorded or captured.
History is history because these events are recorded and transmitted from one generation to another. In cases where these events are not so clear, word like 'around' is used to show that the event truly occurred.
As human beings, we record when we give birth, buy car, land or when someone dies. By recording these events, we stamped them in history, making them available for others to access.
What i know of when i was born and the things that happened were made possible because my mom/dad pay attention to those things and recorded them.
My question now is what happens to an even that is not recorded? Does it stopped being an event simply because it was not recorded? That is, if no one notice anything or unaware of an occurrence, is it still an event even when we have no record of it?
There are accidents, fight, arguments and other things i experienced while on the road today and these events are recorded on my head which i can easily narrate to people as things i experienced. But what happens when these things happened and nobody saw, experience or observe them?
Right now, a tree is falling somewhere, two animals are probably fighting each other. These and many other things are happening right now but are not observed by anybody. The fact that these things are not observed and recorded, does it make them 'less events'? Or are they not events in the proper sense of the word?
Should events be tied to human observations or they are independent - whether observed or not, they are simply event?
Whichever ways you want to look at it, just try consider if you can truly make any sense out of something that happened based on your own assumption. How much of event can it be? This is something you cannot prove but you think they must truly happen whether you observe them or not.
So i put it to you, do events occur without us observing them? If yes, how much of events can them be when we don't have proof of them truly happening?
