Music, Beauty & Creation By
Hossam Badrawi
Through my passion for science, beauty, and happiness, I have written multiple articles about music. When speaking about beauty, I said:
The beauty of music, like the beauty of existence, lies in proportions and mathematical relationships, just as the beauty of the universe lies in the precise harmony between the movement of planets and stars.
Music is the greatest art that transcends practical goals, as its means of affecting the human soul does not serve materialistic
purposes outside the scope of art.
It is not concerned, for example, with architecture which is used in construction and serves
purposes other than just creating aesthetic pleasure. However, in its simple study, music builds a sense and knowledge of
harmony and consonance. It reaches the realm of
mathematics from the entrance of beauty and pleasure, and forms the skills of precision, mastery, perseverance, and commitment in its practice.
So, I consider music as one of the foundations of education. The same applies to language, photography, and other types of art, as each has its general benefit and a specific benefit related to its type.
The human soul, with a taste for beauty, is capable of creativity, innovation, seeing what is beautiful, and building on it.
From another scientific
perspective, reading about quantum physics, has revealed to me a philosophical-musical perspective in creation.
We now know that the
elementary particles that make up matter are called Quarks (which include protons and neutrons) and leptons (which include electrons). This is the building block of matter, any matter in the entire universe, and it is composed of string-like strings (string theory).
Quantum mechanics has shown the fusion of particle and wave properties in what is known as wave-particle duality, where the particle can appear as matter sometimes and as a wave at other times. The fact that each particle within an atom is both a
particle and a wave at the same time (duality of existence) makes us contemplate the nature of our existence.
What is astonishing about the duality of existence is that energy exists as matter in the form of oscillations (strings) that make up quarks.
To facilitate my understanding from the non-professional reader, imagine that the letters of the language are 28, but from them, all this poetry and literature throughout history could be produced, and all music in all its forms and melodies could be
invented from a simple musical scale.
All the matter in the universe is produced by the oscillations of the strings inside quarks, as if the Creator is playing a symphony by moving these oscillations as He wishes.
