MS#156. Kepler's Music --- a Computer Simulation, 2019
- Subjects: Visual Math, Visual Music
- Abstract:
This article is a supplement to my presentation at the conference, The
Harmony of the World at the Kepler Archives, Saint Petersburg, Russia, 21-23
June, 2019. It is a report of joint work with Pablo Viotti. We presented stereo-
audio and video recordings of our computer simulation of Kepler's planetary
music, as described in Book V of his Harmonice mundi. The video synchronizes
the combined sounds of the planets with a visual display of the planetary disks,
as seen by angels watching from a window in the Sun, similar to the view from
the moon described in Kepler's Somnium: the dream, or posthumous work on
lunar astronomy.Mathematical theories of information transmission may be applied to this channel.
