It was mentioned as one of Stephon Alexander's books from several years prior, discussing the relationship between music and the structure of the universe.
And among those books, the one I remember most is from now six years ago, seven years ago, The Jazz of Physics. Let me get the right subtitle here. The Secret Link Between Music and the Structure of the Universe.
Episode: “Is Our Universe a Simulation?” with Brian Greene
It's a book about the relationship between music and the structure of the universe, and Stefan Alexander discussed improvisation as an example of how it could be viewed in the context of physics.
Now it turns out there happens to be a guy out there who wrote an entire book on the connection between physics and music. An entire book. His name is Stefan Alexander and he's standing by right now live on video call. You guys, you have him? Oh there we go. Hey Stefan, hello. Hey Neil what's up? Hey, well welcome to Start Talk. Hey, good to be here. Thanks for helping me. So you wrote a book, The Jazz of Physics, Stefan Alexander, the secret link between music and the structure of the universe.
Episode: Cosmic Queries – Proving Einstein Right
It was mentioned in passing as a book written by Stephen Alexander, a physicist and jazz musician who was a co-author with Jim Gates on a paper about strings and the cosmic microwave background.
Stefan is a professional level jazz musician, although he is a physicist on faculty here at Brown University.
The Jazz of Physics is his work.
Episode: “Is Our Universe a Simulation?” with Brian Greene
It's a book that explores the connection between music and the structure of the universe, using jazz as a metaphor for the improvisational nature of quantum mechanics.
Now it turns out there happens to be a guy out there who wrote an entire book on the connection between physics and music. An entire book. His name is Stefan Alexander and he's standing by right now live on video call. You guys, you have him? Oh there we go. Hey Stefan, hello. Hey Neil what's up? Hey, well welcome to Start Talk. Hey, good to be here. Thanks for helping me. So you wrote a book, The Jazz of Physics, Stefan Alexander, the secret link between music and the structure of the universe.
