The step from a classical world view to a quantum mechanical universe is enormous. You won't be able to take this step simply by projecting quantum mechanical objects into a classical universe what happened when you did that is that you conclude they don't fit. This is correct. They don't fit in the way you tried to fit them into your world view.

A quantum mechanical perspective is only one of many - equally valid - perspectives from which to view the physical universe. It provides a set of definitions that are formed within a specific framework. I wouldn't presume to say it is either more or less valid than any other perspective, and I certainly wouldn't dismiss it wholesale just because I don't understand its ins and outs. Wouldn't want anyone dismissing other (equally valid) perspectives on that basis, either.

From the QM perspective, which (if I'm understanding correctly) defines 'sound' as specifically an interaction between waveforms and hearing receptors, I wonder: Does this exclude the way other trees will perceive the waveforms emitted by the falling of one of their neighbors? In other words, according to QM, is sound only sound when it's perceived by ears, as opposed to when the vibration is perceived through some other perceptive function? I'm not asking for the purpose of argument; I really don't know, and I'd like to understand.

Regarding the 'power' of words: I don't think a single definition that can be applied to all words can be given for that concept. The energetic power of a word is relative to its meaning as well as to the intent with which it was spoken. Using the example of the word 'love', for instance, the energy of this word varies with its use: In the phrase "I love coffee", love carries a much different meaning/energy/'power' than when it's said in the context of "I love you", and the energy of this word is stronger, under any circumstances, than words such as "and" or "the". Some folks practice energy work that involves utterance of certain words or names for the purpose of control over energy or other beings; the power of those words, still, is relative to who is doing the speaking, the speaker's intent, as well as the target toward which the words are aimed.

At any rate, I do believe there is a great deal of potential power in words - but how much power they have is relative to the situational context in which they are said.
