Chances are good that you’ve already seen, or at least seen a link to, Vi Hart’s astonishing video about twelve-tone music. It has almost a million views, which represents a pretty tiny fraction of the total number of people on Earth, but I suspect the correlation with readers of this blog is high.
But I’m posting it anyway, because there might still be some readers who haven’t watched it yet, and that would be a shame. It’s that good. Now, it is a #longwatch, as they say in Twitter-land — half an hour long! Let’s just say it’s more rewarding than catching the latest episode of Two Broke Girls.
Twelve Tones
Crazy shapes.

Her Twinkle Twinkle little star reminds me of the version I wrote for my kids:
Twinkle, Twinkle, little star
Science teaches what you are
A burning ball of hydrogen gas
With high temperature and great mass.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Many, many, light years far.

Too bad my music teacher was just interested in making music. If only she had told us about the mathematics behind it I would have been much more interested.

Are time and space elemental subjects?
They can not be essential subjects in the entity.
But they have come into being.
