Did you know that the nucleotide sequence of DNA can be converted into music? In 1986, the Japanese geneticist Susumu Ohno discovered DNA music by converting the nucleotide bases G, T, C, and A to the musical notes A, C, G, and D, respectively. This intriguing revelation led to the question: if DNA can be translated into music, can music, in turn, affect or change our DNA? Sound, as we now know, possesses mass and has the ability to move matter. By delving into the study of cymatics and exploring the potential effects of music on DNA, we can begin to uncover the possibility of utilizing music as a healing tool.
I’ve gone down a bit of a 13thFloor rabbit hole, thankyou very much. What a great idea for a community! I really liked that Kurt Vonnegut letter, as well as the Muppets video. I haven’t given the Muppets any thought in so long, that song is so right on. This is the first time I’d looked at kbin at all.
Thanks so much for the tip, hadn’t considered crossposting someone else’s post, great idea!
