calling all boffins
All scientists and
mathematicians on this List -- come out, come out wherever you are!
I know one gentleman here who spends
his non-musical life hunting the elusive Higgs Boson with a monster particle
accelerator. (He has promised to notify me when he finds it.)
And it was my experience in high school
and college that there was an intimate connection between the hands, hearts and
brains on keyboards and in the orchestra, and those in the sciences and
mathematics. We don't talk much about this phenomenon, and why the two realms
seem so naturally to be so intimately related, but I think it's a fascinating
topic.
Call this OT if you like -- but I'd
love to read the testimony of our shy scientists and mathematicians who've been
haunting f_minor, how they integrate Nature and number with music and their love
of Glenn Gould.
