Michela Costello Lakkala We Are Not Noise IF I WERE NOT A PHYSICIST, I WOULD PROBABLY BE A MUSICIAN. - ALBERT EINSTEIN I never gave much thought to physics class. My teacher only strung pulleys together, and showed us jars of her silver gall stones. But let's see if I can finally get this right: sound is a wave between two objects, the pitch among reaching points. This makes the space between you and me a humming pocket, a ballad stone like a fist holding pieces of our dust and light. And since NASA says earth hums like a gentle B flat, you are the shift from E minor to F sharp, an unexpected calming change of chords. So what matters is not matter, but sound. Einstein played the violin. This life points to everything singing.
