Science always liked music. Pitagoras discovered integer proportions for chord length producing “harmony”. Now, numbers which are not integer proportion, we call “irrational”.

Even solutions of the Schrödinger equation are expressed in “spherical harmonics”. Does some transcendental harmony really exist in the Universe?
