Anybody Ever Hear This One - Genetic Patterns Into Music?
It says this:
Genetecist Susumu Ohno reported that, in order to detect the flowing patterns of genetic equations, he decided to convert them into music. He devised a simple rule for the conversion: each of the four basic nucleic acids in the genes was assigned two consevutive notes from the musical octave; the notes were then strung together in the exact genetic sequence. When living mouse RNA was converted by this process, it was found that a portion of the genetic material, when translated into notation and played on the piano, had the same melody as parts of Frederic Chopin's Nocturne, Op., No.1 ! When the process was reversed, and the Funeral March of Chopin was converted to chemical equations, entire passages appeared to be identical to a human cancer gene. Ohno explained this amazing finding as a natural law which both nature and music follow. Since cells are composed of atoms, and each atom projets a tone, when we take into account the phenomenon of overtone partials, cells should respond to sympathetic sounds, because every tone actually includes al the tones in the universe.
In the same paper it mentions how when certain note combinations played on certain human cells, they became unstable (including a cancer cell). Here is the site:

Anybody debunk this? Or is it good bunk? |
