There was a book called “Godel, Escher, and Bach” some years ago.

Escher of course drew optical illusions.

Bach wrote a piece, that when played over and over, sounded as though it was continually ascending in pitch (or was it descending?) So that one was an “audible” illusion.

Godel proved that you can’t prove everything. In math there would always be unanswerable questions. You could introduce new axioms to make them answerable, but unanswerable questions would always remain.

I’m probably not giving a very good summary, and you raise a good point. I wasn’t that great in music but much better at math, and I’m not seeing how music helps with differential equations.

Some weren’t too hard. Others were a b...
