Universal harmonics

A neat article in a recent issue of the NY Times talks about the
origin of the Universe in terms of the theory of inflation, which
states ..."the quantum fluctuations should have rattled the Universe in
such a way that it resonated like a vast organ pipe, with one main tone,
or wavelength, and a series of overtones, or harmonics." They go on to
say that..." the observations saw the first two harmonics above the main
tone."
I find this branch of cosmology fascinating, since it means that
sound (and music) is the very raw material of the Universe...no
surprise, but it means that science is confirming, with their
instruments, what many ancient teachings have said for many, many years.
And that, I believe, is a very positive sign...Hstick

I remember reading that article. You must realize however that that was just
an analogy. I really dont think science is showing, let alone what they were
I think intending to say in the article, that sound and music is "the very
raw material of the universe," whatever that even means???
