The Harmony Of The World

JJ Couey talks to Matt Ehret. I listened while drawing and don't have time to go back and note every detail, but recommend you listen if it sounds like your thing.

I knew little of Kepler other than his name rings a bell and I think he has come under my nose before. It should be world, not worlds, but hey, who knows, maybe it could be plural. I produced a spontaneous sketch following my first listen through…

Harmonies of the World by Johannes Kepler
‘Nature, which is never not lavish of herself, after a lying-in of two thousand years, has finally brought you forth in these last generations, the first true images of the universe. By means of your concords of various voices, and through your ears, she has whispered to the human mind, the favourite daughter of God the Creator, how she exists in the innermost bosom.’

Kepler's three laws of planetary motion can be described as follows:
01 The path of the planets about the sun is elliptical in shape, with the centre of the sun being located at one focus. (The Law of Ellipses)
02 An imaginary line drawn from the centre of the sun to the centre of the planet will sweep out equal areas in equal intervals of time. (The Law of Equal Areas)
03 The ratio of the squares of the periods of any two planets is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their average distances from the sun. (The Law of Harmonies)

There is a rational, yet beautiful musicality organising the spacings of the planetary orbits around the sun.

Kepler’s hypothesis is later used by Johanne Sebastian Bach
There is a geometrical base to the sound of a square versus a triangle verses a pentagon or a hexagon…
This has an effect upon the soul of humans who want to make and listen to music.

Foresaw the space between Mars and Jupiter where there was space…. 200 years later for Sirius.

The British Royal Society perverted these ideals. Newton was involved with the Bank of England.
We are free to fly by being obedient to the law of dynamics.

Our technical progress is due to our respect of natural law.

Spinoza thought of God as a natural thing
This Spinoza?

Scientists were once called natural philosophers

God was not a bad word that was unscientific.
Western civilisation has been run into the ground by mediocrity.

I’ll end by recommending JJ Couey and Matt Ehret talk to Ryan Dawson to discuss e.g. Lincoln, whom Dawson deems the original neo-con. Matt might also like to ask Ryan about Whitney Webb.
