The Progression of Time, Music and Hidden dimensions

Diemkai , February 20, 2004

 

I enjoyed reading "Time and Space" by Chris Boucher on this site.

I find myself very interested in metaphysical explainations of string/M theory.

A "theory of everything" that is often reffered to as being possible to explain everything we perceive.

This leads to the conclusion that it would theoretically prove explain observations that previously have been considered out of bounds for physics. One example I can think if is linked to the progression of time.

We perceive rhythm within a piece music very clearly. The structure of music can clearly be analysed as a mathematical stucture. There are many different musical structures which are understood to "work" with 4:4 currently being the most popular (in the western world), however, there are many structures which clearly don’t "work" analogous to an off pitch note.

I would have never tried to link this type of phenomenon with physics. But surely a theory of everything must?

The geometry of the required hidden dimensions of spacetime would have to yield a solution which produced a cause for the satisfying rhythms we enjoy. In a similar way (ie analygous to) to the natural resonance of physical objects at particular frequencies.

In other words the progression of time is "knitted into" the hidden dimesnions. Music or melody is one simple way that humans appreciate the progression of time. When we listen to our favourite melodies are we actually appreciating the nature, structure and geometry of the hidden dimensions?

Maybe we can derive something about the geometry, nature a structure of the hidden dimensions from this?

Is it possible to investigate this hypothesis further or is this simply nonsense?
