the music and math video has me thinking.
Beethoven must have felt the consonant (and dissonant) vibrations in some sense.
Maybe he was only deaf to human speech. Maybe the set of steady vibrations were perceived in a hightened sense like a blind person hearing better.
Just thinking

My understanding is that the letters in Hebrew are equivalent to numbers and that the sum of a word – or name – has meaning in itself.
BTW the gematria sum of bitcoin = money.

I was riding in a the car of a math geek friend a number of years ago and he was playing a CD of Bach. I don’t remember which piece, but Bill was marveling at the six degrees of symmetry in this piano sonata.
That much symmetry seems to violate the delicate balance between order and chaos but it sure sounded peaceful and reassuring.
Cheers

Hi Jim,
i never picked up an instrument. That’s more technical info than i can process.
I just think open B has a place in Rock-n-Roll sometimes.
You can’t get down to 30.87 any other way can you ? Other than the 2nd white note on the piano.
Cheers

Merci, Pascal,
Did anyone notice the Grateful Dead sticker on the guitar ?
Pascal how old is this video ? Sting looks much younger.
Thanks again

I should mention the book Cosmos as well and the TV show on PBS. It was in the 80’s.

Sagan’s book Pale Blue Dot is worth reading.
