Consonance and dissonance are literally on the first page of your standard music theory textbook. I guess when you add the flowery language of mysticism that passes for physics these days, reciting something a first-day music student would learn now gets you grant money and press coverage.
“...flowery language of mysticism that passes for physics these days...”
Heh, good job of saying “I have no clue about math.”
A good many physicists are quite proficient in music. Check out the history of the great ones and you’ll find quite the opposite of Big Bang Theory (which I loved).
lol
My first thought as well. I would add that since Euro-American music has been tempered, or intentionally made dissonant, in order to try to shoehorn the square peg of Pythagorean thirds into the not-quite-a-circle of fifths, the man's theory is already suspect. One would have to experience the complexity and true consonance of just intonation to begin to discuss the effects of audio wavelengths.
