Foundation of the Theory:
Pythagoras discovered the numerical ratios that govern the harmonies of musical scales can be applied to the distances and movements of the celestial bodies. He observed that vibrating strings produce pleasant sounds when the ratios of the lengths of the strings are whole numbers, and similarly, proposed that the movements of celestial bodies-like the planets or the sun and moon-create a form of music in their ceaseless, perfect motions.
How it Works:
This celestial music isn’t “heard” in a conventional sense but is rather understood as an expression of harmony and mathematical order. Pythagoras and his followers believed that the distances between the planets could be expressed in ratios that correspond to musical intervals. For example, the relationship between Earth and the Moon, or Earth and the Sun, could be conceptualized as forming a musical fifth or a fourth, based on the ratios of their orbits and relative speeds.
The idea that the ratios of the maximum and minimum angular speeds of planets in their orbits could correspond to musical intervals is a fascinating blend of astronomy and music theory, echoing the ancient concept of the "music of the spheres."
