Music is Maths

The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will make you an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you. - Werner Heisenberg

Mathematics underlies all melody,

Pitch, meter, tone, speak maths as they vibrate,

Essential to a soulful harmony’s

The purest logos it thereto equates.

This language wherein beauty sides with law

Must constitute a symmetry divine,

Make imminent a world without a flaw,

Transcendent and temporal to combine.

Necessity relates the abstract plane

In spider webs of truth hereof composed

By animated matter, live again,

Whose naked song our science has exposed.

  Long have we hummed the penetrating mind

  That interfaces God with humankind.

even in the abstract, two and two adds up to four.
But it is just a more "transcendent and temporal" way to get there.

maybe music does get us closer to God in some way.

I can buy that.
really enjoyed my visit to your page...look forward to reading more from you.

The expression of music can be measured by science. The inspiration comes from that which is beyond measure.
