Consciousshift With Julie Ann Turner

As both a jazz saxophonist and a theoretical physicist, Stephon Alexander struggled to reconcile his passion for music and physics with the ancient realm where music, physics, and the cosmos were one. Playing the saxophone and improvising with equations, Stephon uncovered the connection between the fundamental waves that make up sound and the fundamental waves that make up everything else. In his book THE JAZZ OF PHYSICS: The Secret Link Between Music and the Structure of the Universe, Stephon reveals the ancient poetic idea of the “music of the spheres,” taken seriously, clarifies confounding issues in physics. The book has already received praise from musicpioneer Brian Eno, who said it “could just as well be called The Joy of Physics because what leaps out from it is Stephon Alexander’s delight and curiosity about the cosmos ...”.Join Julie Ann and Stephon to explore the amazing - and actual - resonance between science and music.
