Music, song, incantation, droning all embody this primordial, creative potential which animates the created order. It is not by accident, therefore, that contemporary physicists are rediscovering the musical undercurrent to our creative universe. Echoes can be detected in the fascination and controversy engendered by superstring theory, which postulates that the fundamental energy that enlivens everything in the universe may be compared to the vibrating energy that occurs when we move the bow over a musical string, the music being the "voiced" language of the silent energy. Swimme and Berry . . . describe humanity's role as a sounding board for a universe that is essentially melodious in nature.
