Cosmic Inflation from *MUSICA UNIVERSALIS by Steve Shapiro

Music played a crucial role in the shaping of Einstein’s most important scientific discoveries.

Mozart was Einstein’s favorite composer. He said, “Mozart's music is so pure and beautiful that I see it as a reflection of the inner beauty of the universe. Mozart appeared not to “create” his music, but discovered it ready made."

Einstein sought a similar purity, economy and harmoniousness of vision for his theories.

Music inspired and guided him; it stimulated parts of his brain that could not be accessed through sitting at his desk. It gave him a sense of patterns, feelings, hunches, intuitions – all manner of sensual information that could be described as ways of thinking that don’t involve words.

"Life without playing music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music ... I get most joy in life out of music." - Albert Einstein
