The Music of Chemistry: Mendeleev's Nuclear Resonance Code

What is music? Academically, it is mathematically organized vibration. In quantum physics, matter is also a vibration of standing waves. We assert that the periodic table is a musical score, where protons and neutrons are the notes, and the intervals between them determine the tonality of matter. The closer the n/pn/p ratio is to simple integer fractions (2:1, 4:3, 6:5), the ‘purer’ and more stable the nucleus is. Our task is to learn how to conduct this score through resonant tuning.

Abstract

What is music? Academically, it is mathematically organized vibration. In quantum physics, matter is also a vibration of standing waves. We assert that the periodic table is a musical score, where protons and neutrons are the notes, and the intervals between them determine the tonality of matter. The closer the n/pn/p ratio is to simple integer fractions (2:1, 4:3, 6:5), the ‘purer’ and more stable the nucleus is. Our task is to learn how to conduct this score through resonant tuning.
