I just finished your insightful and inspirational The Jazz of Physics and watched your Ted Talk, Google, and Deepak Chopra presentations. Thank you for making these relationships between the Arts and Sciences as in your book "The Jazz of Physics."
Had the privilege to see you at City College the other day. Got me wide open. I've always considered some of the things you shared, actually it was more intuitive than any research based insight. From the big bang reverberations being the basis for life to the parallel expression of it in music. On a personal note, Big Bang was/is a deliberate action taken by an intelligent source, so much so that the only way we can wrap our minds around it is to sum it up simply as The Big Bang, lol. Much like the tentatonic demostration you had the sax player do, I have ideas about the variables enroute to whatever point/location we're planning. All that to simply say THANKS!!
he's doing great work. its obvious even to a layman that the only way to get past the blocks of the big pressing scientific unknowns today whether it be medical or abstract, is to go back to the initial discoveries, (as in kepler returning to pythagoris) of humanity, to the observable world and its many interactions, and re-discover within a new framework, a new-old way of seeing. i believe that if one were to study psyics continually within the framework of music, one could finally answer the questions of time and gravity, because time and gravity are PRESENT in music in a real observable way, more accurately observable to the naked ear than anything is to the naked eye... science has inherited the problem of beaurocracy and state in its aging withing univeristy in that it forgets what it has already learned bc of arbituary barriers and methods of determining "truth", so much medical and natural knowledge has been known and at times expunged of cultures non-western, that western science is just know "discovering". communication, creativity, these are what will lead to a new future, one unreliant on colonization
Also, if you or anyone else ont his thread remembers. Could you please repeat the 4 elements that are integral to science beyond the rigidity of sound and logical reasoning . The last one was intuition.
Wow, Thanks, the talk was enlightening! I have a question now. Is there an equation that predicts the nth harmonic interval from the fundamental on a string as the number of nodes grows? By knowing the density and tension of a vibrating string, can we predict what note will come out in the presence of an arbitrary number of nodes? Is there any repeating pattern after a certain number of nodes present?
At the end Professor Alexander talking about the reason the Perfect Fifth as Pentatonic is not symmetry is because of the geometry of the pitch intervals - so that C to F as subharmonic is the Perfect Fifth as 2/3 whereas C to G as overtone harmonic is the Perfect Fifth as 3/2. So Western math tried to cover this up with un-natural logarithmic tuning that is symmetric but goes against natural harmonics but John Coltrane was trying to get back to natural harmonics by using pentatonics. So the natural harmonics is based on noncommutative time-frequency which is infinite resonance and the foundation of entangled consciousness that is nonlocal is also noncommutative time-frequency as quantum physicist B.J. Hiley has revealed. So then spacetime is cyclical as a universe of matter and antimatter but gravity is repulsive for antimatter because of the noncommutative time-frequency. De Broglie figured this out with his Law of PHase Harmony stating frequency is to time as momentum is to wavelength, as Professor Alexander alludes to in his book. So then quantum physics is the foundation for relativity - the light wave is invariant as a holograph with future spacetime embedded into the past spacetime as a noncommutative antimatter reversal of spacetime. The information gets reversed as negentropic energy through white holes - a spacetime reversal - but it is the light that is invariant that carries the information as a holograph.
@@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 I think a lot of the words you use don't make sense in the order you use them.... Let's take this part: "the light wave is invariant as a holograph with future spacetime embedded into the past spacetime as a noncommutative antimatter reversal of spacetime" First, "holograph" means "a manuscript handwritten by the person named as its author.", so I don't know what you were trying to say at that part. Second, "future spacetime embedded into the past spacetime" sounds like time-reversal symmetry, not "antimatter reversal". Let alone "noncommutative" antimatter reversal. "Noncommutative" means "Y*X ≠ X*Y". Don't know how that applies here. That's just one sentence. Most other sentences (after you say John Coltrane) don't make much sense.
@@Dublin_N Excellent Semantic Smackdown! So a Holographed Holograph is a bit of a paradox right? Or you don't jiggy my syntax? If you want to know what I'm talking about in detail - just read Eddie Oshins' critique of "the holographic mind" neuroscientist Karl Pribram. elixirfield.blogspot.com/2019/03/eddie-oshins-claim-of-advising-karl.html scroll way down to get to my blog post. www.quantumpsychology.com/pdf/Models-and-Muddles-Part-I.pdf Eddie Oshin's paper is that - he worked directly with Pribram (and Oshin's yes wrote on noncommutative phase logic). So once you do your homework and get over your semantic crutch - then you can get back to me to interact with the substance of my comment. Thanks!
One more thing. In the Holy Books they say in the beginning there was the WORD and the WORD was GOD. I've substituted the word SOUND for WORD. As this language didn't exist, actually no actually language could have existed then as there was no one to talk to. So the closest thing to word would be sound. And this seems to fit right in with what you're saying. The SOUND/vibrations is/was GOD/CREATOR.
Apart from the very lackluster powerpoint, he has very little stage presence, his talk wasn't very cohesive and concise, he kept pausing while talking and finally I just wasn't captivated by him. I went from "Wow a professor/musician, this gotta be good" to closing the video halfway through. Obviously he is very accomplished and a very interesting person, but presenting isn't his forte.
To Ermude: 1. What wasn't good is that several concepts throughout the monologue lack connections from one science field to another. So I ended up understanding the 5th note interval resolving to its primary scale note [in Western Music]...but not how this event connected to concepts of Quantum... Physics or the earliest universe's deriving from SOUND. This felt like a humungous leap. As if the final note/chord ended on a fourth rather than the parent key tone. 2. It is okay for me that he tried to do so...just did not 'gel' for me. I liked the idea that playing a wrong [out of a scale of intervals] is common in jazz but going to a 'corrected' note happens successfully...if stays 'musical.'
His tone actually isn't that bad. He's not Stan Getz, but damn man, he's a tenured PhD in arguably one of the hardest domains, and he plays Jazz... I think he's quite far ahead of you...
You are hard! I don't think folks are paying the big bucks to hear him play and he's not making claims to some sort of "Resurrected Coltrane". Go easy, man!

as tesla said “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

I really enjoyed your book two of my favorite subjects, a modern pythagoras take
interesting. music is a universal language and Jazz is the core dialect.

Wow, Damn, Smashing!
"The perfect 5th is contained in this D" 😂😂😂 this jus keeps getting better
wow, really cool, a great thinker
será que alguem consegueria upar uma cópia deste livro em portugues...alguem no espaço tempo

Home run
I feel so stupid listening to this 😂
He unfortunately isn't a good speaker. Does anybody know whether the book is any good?h
What specifically did you think wasn't good? (I'm just curious)

This guy is NOT a saxophonist, and at best, he is a very poor saxophonist
He played the correct notes and his rhythm was correct... however did not talk how his playing supported his hypothesis.
His tone actually isn't that bad. He's not Stan Getz, but damn man, he's a tenured PhD in arguably one of the hardest domains, and he plays Jazz... I think he's quite far ahead of you...

Spoken by an even worse asshole!
