Origins of music

Did you ever ask why everything travels in waves? Light, Sound, Water, Color, Electricity, Radio? Did you ever ask why our lives reflect and move in rhythmic patterns? Music is everywhere, and Einstein recognized this early on and based his thinking on the idea that nothing is static--but moves in cycles or waves. Or did it ever occur to you that music is the only art-form that reveals itself in every other construct that you can name? You can't consider weather without bumping into musical entities. You can't consider architecture without seeing obvious evidence of rhythmic balance or thematic recurrence. You can't consider the aurora borealis without being brought face to face with other rhythmic realities---sound, dance, electrical presence. Try to name one discipline in our academic spectrum that does not have some kind of musical inference attached. WHY?
That was one of the first things that struck me as a small girl-----music is all and everywhere. Consider.

Without waves there would be no transfer of energy, or else there would just be particles.

Everything seems to have a musical quality if you look for it. I'm surprised that there hasn't been a musically-inclined form of numerology yet.

You'd have loved 'deep' stoner 16 year old me.
