Thank you for posting this deep information about music and maths. I have watched all 6 videos. they are so clear. I'm a dentist and vainika (veena player. a classical instrument from India.) came here to just understand the basics of sound and western music. I'm very interested in sounds and this turned my view on how i am going to understand this whole cosmic world. thank you.
stopping by before I build a musical chord out of the orbital periods of the solar system. this was the closest video I could find to exploring such an idea. cheers
@@zenoki5324 yes, it was pretty easy. it required some creative octave scaling to get everything into the same range, so the actual result is like an inversion of the 'chord', but i was pretty surprised what it sounded like. i just uploaded the video on my channel of you want to hear it

So when a string has 1/2 the length of a comparison string it plays the octave of the original sound, for 2/3 it is the perfect 5th, for 3/4 the perfect 4th. 4/5 the major 3rd, 5/6 the minor third. What about 6/7 of the original length? Perhaps Pythagoras did not like this interval because it was not a perfectly consonant with the original string? So he concealed these intervals from the harmony of the spheres in the same way that he hid his observation of irrational numbers?
Is it from Babylon or was the root of the knowledge kept alive there? There certainly appears particular knowledge has been handed down over time. Though it differs slightly, the roots are the same all the way through, even into Christianity, protected from the inevitable dogma.
@@stephenc2527 exactly the opposite. The knowledge originates from Mesopotamia. Pythagoras visited. Persians conquered. Alexander conquered Persia. Alexandria burned. Arabs preserved in Baghdad. Europe reconstructed the Greek from Persian and Arabic.

I found this video while reading a translation of the Corpus Hermeticum as I was curious about The Seven Spheres. Its all starting to come together

Hey i was exploring this topic today and wanted to do the same exact thing... any update on how it went?

great video ! well explained thank you for your efforts .
Kepler discovered Woo woo to the ultimate logical conclusion
nice discoveryyyyyyyyyy great thx uuuuuu

It's earlier than Pythagoras. Nearly every useful theory attributed to Pythagorean is from Babylon.
That includes the Pythagorean formula and Pythagorean tuning.
The seven planetary days of the week are cycles of fifths through Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars. Jupiter, Saturn. All from Babylon.

6:49 A major sixth has a ratio of 5/4 just like the major third ? I thought it was 5/3
