mmhhh.. no. If you want to hear a contrary opinion, I think Kepler's conjectures were an excellent spiritual complement to his scientific research, but had nothing to do with science. The trajectory of bodies in space proved to be fairly irregular, those divine proportions did not exist, and the relation of physics and numbers was mathematical and not mystic. Also, the fact that harmony is formed by particular mathematical relations between frequencies, does not mean that every math relation is musical. What is most fascinating in science, is that every discovery that proves we were wrong, at the same time opens new horizons of wonder.
