Thread Name: Music is 'The Word'?
Subject: RE: Music is 'The Word'?
I appreciate that physical and electrical vibration aren't literally the same thing, but as we're all familiar with the concept of music coming down a wire and coming out as music again the other end it's true in some sense that something is interchangeable.

Anyway mysticism reaches the parts science cannot, and vice versa. The wave/particle duality thing is just one of those places where they reach all way round the conceptual universe in opposite directions and bump into each other on the other side.

"this is the extreme west"
"no, it's the extreme east"
etc...

And some very advanced theoretical physicists have admitted that their work is knocking on the door of mysticism. When you go too far beyond Newtonian mechanics and every complicated theory is found to have even more complicated exceptions you must start wondering if you've lost the way...

Similarly, you can get too wrapped up analysing the technicalities of music and foget to just sit back and enjoy the noise it makes and the feelings it creates.
