Realization, 'Music' in the Universe

[stneod]

I always thought things like rhythm, melodies, harmonies and such were just a human invention. But the more I think about it, it seems the whole universe plays music in its own way. Not just music i guess but art for all of the senses.

Planets, solar systems, galaxies, the whole universe is in constant dance. Nature definitely produces art more beautiful and more intricate than anything man has created. It seems the whole universe just seems to seek music, figuratively speaking but music on a bigger scale. Could this be why life exists at all music playing itself out on existance. Male and Female are the treble and bass of a world wide drama featuring times of peace, times of war, love and hate.

I think i finally found the word im looking for, beauty, not just music art or drama, but all 3 and more infinitely more. That is a good thought,

Maybe 'art' is simply what we define as aesthetically pleasing. Music is simply a series of longitudinal vibrations which humans like. Noise is the same which we dislike.

and maybe we like it because its what we percieve in nature.

Is beauty an idea purely of human creation or did we pick up the idea from the rythm we see and feel around us?

You come back to determinism vs. free will on that one, I think

Well I was operating under the assumption of freewill, but yes the two topics are definitely interconnected.

Can one believe in determinism and freewill? We have the ability to choose as we will but the likelyhood in our decision is determined by everything around us?

I dont believe in pre-destiny vs freewill. We are probably saying the same thing just with different words.
