Philosophers ask: “why is there something rather than nothing?“. The existence of no thing is more likely, because some thing is specific and requires a lot of coincidences. Personally, I approach this self-centrically: if I can ask this question, it means that I exist, so there is a single probability of the existence of some thing rather, since the possibility of asking this question arose…
I have more strange question in my mind – “why is there anything exists at all”? Why mathematics exists? Why matery and space exists? Why music exists?
So there is something, several instances or abstractions of something, and from this you can infinitely combine… this is how I feel about mathematics and this is the reason I feel that music is unfathomable.
In mathematics, you can partially derive numbers from the theory of sets, logic or geometry from numbers… everything is connected and creates a mosaic that is impossible to fathom. And… the great miracle: “How is it possible that we find these abstractions in physical world?”
A simpler example is chess, which, limited by several dozen rules, creates a mosaic of an unlimited number of rules that lead to a winning position… but I’m not intend to writing about mathematic, physics, chess… I want to write about music, understanding and understanding of music…
Understanding (even partial) as a miracle
To understanding we need not only anything, not only something, not only abstraction but also mind. These combinations are almost impossible – this is a miracle of the universe… I can undermining understanding but – the infinite and greatness of everything implicit that we are not even so small
Where does music come from?
The scientific and philosophical associations of music are – somewhere harmony has appeared in the current reality (also cosmic – orbits of planets), rhythms have been recorded in the pulse (e.g. heart, astronomy), sounds have become embedded in our everyday life… we can connect everything with everything but does it a delusion? I don’t understand music.
