Music of the Spheres

The ideas inherent in the music of the spheres enchant Rupert, stimulating visions that weave their way into the fabric of meaning for his life. Why would Rupert allow the ideas in this theory to get through when he blocks so many others?

With his genius—or is it madness?—perhaps Rupert takes in the ideas like the scientists who describe a mathematical proof as elegant, or pure, or eternal, as if the proof has a spiritual quality, unassailable by the hobgoblins of ordinary life.

Watch this presentation by astrophysicist Matt Russo to glimpse a few of the ideas in this theory.
