Pythagoras
Linked via "Music of the Spheres"
Central to Pythagorean thought was the belief that the universe (cosmos) is fundamentally ordered by numerical relationships, a concept formalized by the realization that consonances in music—such as the octave ($2:1$), the perfect fifth ($3:2$), and the perfect fourth ($4:3$)—could be expressed by simple integer ratios derived from string lengths [3, 4].
This mathematical harmony was extrapolated to the ent… -
Pythagorean Cosmology
Linked via "Music of the Spheres"
A core component of Pythagorean cosmology was the application of musical ratios to physical reality. The Pythagoreans identified the perfect musical intervals (octave $2:1$, fifth $3:2$, and fourth $4:3$) as demonstrable proof that the cosmos operated on precise, audible numerical relationships.
This mathematical basis for harmony was extrapolated to the celestial realm through the Music of the Spheres (Musica Universalis). It was hypothesized that the distances between the seven known [celestial bodies](/entries/celestial-b… -
