It's kinda wonderful when different branches of mathematics and science come together, but we have to be really careful of reading too much into some things.

Poor old Pythagoras died a dissillusioned man because his proof that the square root of two was incommensurable, disproved all of his previous theories of numerology. And all the religious significance that he had assigned to his numerology theories were trashed.

The statement "Music and Physics are One" applies ONLY to the creation of music. Music is very physiological and subjective in it's interpretation by the human mind. The mathematical side of music is fairly simple to modern mathematicians and can be easily understood even by those who are tone deaf. The appreciation of music is far more complex and can only be truly understood by those who can feel it in their bones. They can do this without any mathematical knowledge whatsoever. They can do this because they know that a fifth in the equally tempered scale SOUND wrong. A mathematician though, can tell you exactly how far out it really is from a string stopped to a third of it's length without ever hearing it in the first place.
