An interesting podcast.
The speaker is a physicist and jazz musician.
His basic argument is that the universe started as and remains a very large vibration.
A vibration is a ratio in movement, a relational entity, this makes it the relationship between things in process. This makes it performance, as is jazz. More on this later from Richard Schechner here who proposes we can understand anything as performance.
It supports my basic argument that art and science are complimentary. Science produces an abstract account of the objective world. Art a concrete account of the same world experienced subjectively. Whereas a physicist needs a Large Hadron Collider, all an artist needs is, in this case, a piano.
