The Musical Theory Of Existence Hearing The Music Of The Spheres 1st Edition Steve Madison by Steve Madison instant download after payment.

Is the mind the ultimate musical instrument? Is the world a unique symphony composed by the World Mind, a symphony so extraordinary that it has been rendered physical, available to all of our senses and not just to our ears? Are atoms actually physical notes? Chemistry’s Periodic Table would then be a musical scale of the elements, and the laws of ontological music would determine what and how the elements can combine. Is the material world actually music that is enormously slowed down or “frozen”? Is it just low-frequency music, inaudible to our ears (“infrasound”)? Are quantum mechanical wavefunctions really musical functions, made of countless blended “notes”? They play music all the time, but our ears aren’t attuned to this kind of music.
Imagine the most special of pianos. This exceptional piano has been reduced to nothing but a keyboard – one that can play any possible note . The keys of this piano are eternal. They have compulsory existence. They are the very foundation of existence. In fact, they are the only things that have “Being”, i.e. fundamental reality.
This piano wouldn’t be of much use if it had no one to play it. Well then, who does play it? If we were the philosopher Plato, we would say that a Cosmic Being – the Demiurge – is the piano player. But then we have to explain the existence of the Demiurge as well as that of the piano, and we have thereby created a problematic dualism: there are two types of things in this system – the piano and the piano player. Do we actually need an external Being, an external player? Why can’t the system operate on its own? There’s nothing to stop the piano playing itself. Such a thing already exists. It’s called a pianola . A pianola is a mechanical piano that uses a roll of perforated paper to operate its keys, hence can dispense with the services of an external pianist.
