I would like to submit a proposal. Our universe, the one we live in, is music. It is the result of some far off distant symphony. A picture created by the notes and phrases of some amazingly exotic instruments. At times it is the raucous equivalent of a heavy metal song and at others it is the quiet dulcet tones of a new age song.
I don’t offer this idea up just out of poetry. I offer it out of evidence. Lets start with music. For how many centuries have composers used music to tell a story. Whether an Opera with words that help to explain the story or a symphony that in it’s change of tone from movement to movement paints a picture of the tale. It fills not only with the basics of what is happening, music also manages to convey atmosphere and emotion, even better than the best writers. It, like much to the annoyance of one recording engineer I know, it even manages to convey color. It is amazing how it does it. I once told some one that I wanted to learn to make art that was a musical as music is visual.
Don’t believe me? Have you ever listened to the 1812 Overture. Listened to the build up before the battle and the intense battle scene and then the lull and then a battle scene? The next time you hear it listen for it. It’s all there. Much as there is a story in most music. Fabulous pictures. Why do you think most visual productions include background music.
I think this theory has merit in the scientific world as well. For many years scientist have been working on a theory of everything. The Unified Field Theory and such. As part of that they have been working on something called SuperString Theory. The idea that we get these wide variations in quantum particles based off of the vibrations of the quantum strings. They have for many years been dealing with the evidence that this theory is most elegant and complete when acknowledging the existence of 10 dimensions. There is another theory that uses 11 dimensions call the M-Theory or something close. Everything, all our current physics theories seem to roll up and unify themselves in these higher dimensions. So what to the idea that we a just a symphony being performed in another, higher dimension from our own.
Such for the wanderings and musings of my mind.
Cheers
