"Is what we call folk music a logical consequence of our life form?"
An interesting question, but not one that I had in mind.

One often sees interviews of music and song writers, where they seem puzzled by where the inspiration for their music creation came from. From what we know, and can prove, all of our knowledge and inspiration is from an Earth source (excluding those that are without convincing evidence).

Under some quantum theories, there is an interconnection among pieces of the universe. If valudated in some way, future scientists may open the doors to connect with far away places, in one manner or another, that are currently out of reach through traditional methods.

It is within probability that in the countless solar systems that other life forms exist. Regardless of the life form, if that were the case, and a form of intelligent communication and society evolved, it is also probable that art and music was one result. With quantum theory, and interconnection, it is unlikely that life forms could establish a physial connection in an intact form.

Obviously it is too early to put factual "meat on the bones" on what interconnection would mean and what possible doors it would open, if found to be more than a scientific theory. Thus, my question. Admittedly, it was a bit of a "tongue in cheek" question, mainly focused on those who have claimed to put great faith in science and scientists-and some who are more selective in what field of science trust lies.
