"In ancient time, the Greek mathematician and astronomer Pythagoras speculated that the positions of the planets corresponded to the harmonic intervals of musical notes and that the planets vibrated as they were moved by the Prime Mover, thus producing musical tones as they moved through the heavens.
This theory - the Music of the Spheres - held sway for over a thousand years, before advances in science rendered such beliefs as nonsense. However, several recent scientific discoveries have, in fact, begun to lend some credence to old Pythagoras' insights.
For example, it has been determined that all things, both "living" (like bees who hum in B) cheer as well as inert, like seemingly lifeless rocks, produce vibrations that give off harmonic tones.
Using the most sensitive instrumentation, scientists have discovered that the celestial objects in the skies resonate at various tones. Not only planets and suns, but also even black holes, which have been found to "sing" at the lowest B-flat ever recorded - a full 57 octaves below middle-C on a piano. stars
As objects oscillate in seemingly empty space, they produce harmonics and overtones, which react with other planets, moons, and asteroids (and their notes) to PRODUCE CHORDS. Indeed, the universe is full of harmonies.
