The Music of the Sun

The Music of the Spheres is an ancient idea that the mathematical relationships between celestial bodies expresses a musical relationship and corresponds to universal ratios.  The idea had tremendous currency in the Middle Ages and Early Modern period.  The idea is all over Dante's Divine Comedy, but the textbook was Boethius' De Musica.

In Hinduism, the audible life stream, or Shabda, was sometimes connected to the Music of the Spheres.

This isn't any of that.

But it's just as cool.

What we have here is the magnetic resonances of the sun.  It's been singing to us, if you like.  You can hear it now.  This is the sound of truth.

Unfortunately, truth sometimes sounds a little like John Tesh's more sedate work.  But if you can just hear it for what it is, it is the sound of something true and terrifying and good.
