Research Blog

I've found some writings by Albert Einstein. He seems to have a very similar viewpoint to myself. He understood music as synonymous with existence.
"Everything is determined by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust - we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper."
-Albert Einstein
This got me thinking about science and existence and bees. There are many things that science cannot explain or measure, perhaps by applying a derivative of music theory to scientific questions new theories can be made. Like string theory for example, which I talk about in an older blog which basically states that everything in existence is made of little 'strings' vibrating at different frequencies. Our experience of life is limited to our perception by a finite number of frequencies that we can perceive with our senses and only represent a small part of the unlimited number that could exist. We don't see how these different vibrations make up matter. We can't understand how the vibrations of a couch are different to but immediately relate to those of a table, but like everything else they have their own combination of frequencies in in the medium of space. Color is expressed through frequencies of light, sound through frequencies of pressure in a given medium. It is all different vibrations of energy through space. Perhaps to understand the meaning of life is to be conscious of frequencies of energies that are not available to our senses allowing us to see how we vibrate in relation to our surroundings. Bees see colors that we can't, just like other animals have heightened senses of smell, or what seems to be a sixth sense when it comes to natural disasters, so who knows how many dimensions of vibration there are, we just assume there are only those that can be measured such as sound waves, electromagnetic waves, water waves, etc. Perhaps there are colors that exist on the verge of sound. Perhaps there is no difference in color, matter and sound, only a ranges of frequencies and energy transitions in which they blend together. The reason the color green seems to compare to violins or that orange is like trumpets is that the frequency of the color and the frequency of the sound harmonize in space and strike a similar emotional chord in the viewer. It is an amusing coincidence in the experience of life.
Amber suggested that I check out Kandinsky's "Concerning the Spiritual in Art" so I've been reading that and in it he expresses an interesting unity between color, viewer, artist and their souls through the context of music,
"colour is a power which directly influences the soul. Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand which plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul."
To expand on this, I feel it is more that god is playing the piano, the artist is a manifestation of that god, the pinnacle of creation which is gods attempt to see and enjoy himself, I believe it is only a matter of evolution before there is a full realization of universal unity and the infinite possibilities of gods potential.
