Bert, Thanks.

My "Music & Physics Are One" was a more-or-less tongue-in-cheek (hyphenation-run-wild, here) wordplay on the notion of a Grand Unification Theory.

However---y'know, since you mention it :) --- "Music is very physiological and subjective in it's interpretation by the human mind": Yes. But if, as per string theory, our *physiology*, like all other matter, is *itself*, at its roots, naught but harmonic vibration---well, I dunno: Then What? See, these Strings guys really mean it: Stuff ain't what we think it is. Reality is, in a very real sense, unreal. Matter is Illusory. Harmonies R Us. And they say they've got the mathematics to prove it. Provided you do the equations in 26 dimensions collapsed down to 10, and most of *them* "rolled up" into a torus, whatever *that* is. Not that I would read too much into such things. :)
