My hero, Richaed Feynman - "I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy."

Snap!

Waddya know.

Feynman is my hero too. Ever since I saw him on a BBC show when I was a kid. He was pointing at a monkey and saying (I'm paraphrasing) That's me! I'm just like that monkey trying to figure out how to use a stick to get to the fruit.

Surely you're Joking Mr. Feynman is my all time favourite. A truly beautiful mind. Guys like him make me feel proud to be a human.

And coincidentally, or not, Feynman was a synesthete. He saw the letters of equations in colors.

RE: whats your resonance (in reply to Kevin James Shanahan)

I see colors when playing and listening to music...since I fist started. I read once this is how perfect pitch is learned but to me it's relative and perhaps more tied to my memory than actual sound. a capo change proves it to me anyway.

The overtone series of a single note goes to infinity, 5ths are important part of this series. The first 7 note scale in the serious is something close to the Lydian Dominant mode. It is a cool sound, but not the most peacful to me. The most peaceful sound to me is Lydian mode. The song of Mclaughlin called "The Wish" uses this mode only and the inner peace and nostalgia it creates every hearing for me is interesting and always "healing". To me it is probably the only music I could stand to listen to for all eternity if I were forced to. Music in general takes on a new dimention when this mode is explored. For example in tonal music when the IV chord is introduced it always has the same effect on me. I tend to "need" to repeat that section of music over and over and have no problems if it NEVER ends. I can't say the same for any other musical mode or piece of music.

people feel the need to ridicule anything unproven

in my own case it's not a need to ridicule anything unproven, it's a need to be sceptical of anything unproven.

Scepticism is the open-minded refusal to believe anything until or unless it's proven.
