The Music of the Heavens                             µmike

For some time I have wondered about the connection between music, physics, cosmology, and philosophy. Since as a philosopher I study all aspects of knowledge, the search for wisdom sometimes brings answers that come from strange directions. For some time, I have thought that there must be some very basic connection between music and the physics of the cosmos. Many pieces of Bach just seem like they should be played in space (where you couldn't actually hear it outside of your space suit) and that they somehow represent a very basic aspect of the nature of the cosmos. So for a very long time, I have wondered about this connection.

Another problem that I have wondered much about, is why do scientist claim there are six elementary particles? Why is there more than one? How is six more basic than the number two or three or four or five? It didn't seem to make sense that there would be six basic building blocks of the cosmos, because six just isn't a "special" number.

Then, after I understood the gravionic model, I realized that in the unification equation, E=gmc², there is, in essence, only one mass, only one gravity and only one energy. But as the equation unfolds, we see that there are an almost unlimited number of ratios of energy that can exist between mass and gravity, ranging throughout the value of c². Thus everything that we call a particle is merely part of a gravitational system that is always in a state of change (the changing of connections being the very definition of time). Particles are continually exchanging part of their energy to make new connections of gravity. So what we are currently modeling as particles is actually only part of the energy of the real physical system.  In truth, the total energy is proportional between mass and gravity and extends through the range of c².

What I would propose is that there are actually twelve different ratios of energy that make up the basic "building blocks" of nature.  When mankind first began to understand music, he started with just a few notes.  We didn't come to full musical awareness, until 12 notes were used.  I suspect we won't fully understand the physical systems of nature, until mankind also learns to "hear" all its notes.  With just 12 notes, a musician can play any song.  With just 12 basic ratios, nature can make all that we see.  There is only one mass, but it tends to form stable systems at twelve distinct ratios with its gravions. The reason scientist think there are only 6 particles, is because they just haven't yet heard all the notes!   Instead of calling these things quarks and giving them ridiculous names like up and down, we should rise to full awareness as a species and name these stable elementary ratios by their real names: the notes of the musical scale.
