"A milestone in modern research on the the harmony of the spheres."
- Novalis magazine "This book reignites the debate on the harmony
of the spheres." - Das Goetheanum Is the solar system ordered, or
is it simply the result of random and chaotic accidents? This book
takes us on a powerful and compelling journey of discovery,
revealing the celestial spheres' astonishingly complex patterns.
The movements of the planets are found to correspond accurately
with simple geometric figures and musical intervals, pointing to an
exciting new perspective on the ancient idea of a "harmony of the
spheres". Hartmut Warm's detailed presentation incorporates the
distances, velocities and periods of conjunction of the planets, as
well as the rotations of the Sun, Moon and Venus. Numerous graphics
- including colour plates - illustrate the extraordinary beauty of
the geometrical forms that result when the movements of several
planets are viewed in relation to one another. In addition, the
author describes and analyses the concepts of the "music of the
spheres", with special consideration given to Johannes Kepler's
revolutionary ideas. Current scientific beliefs about the origin of
the universe and the solar system are explained, enabling the
reader to understand fully how Warm's remarkable research
supplements contemporary materialistic views of the cosmos. An
appendix includes his mathematical and astronomical methods of
calculation as well as detailed discussion of their accuracy and
validity based on modern astronomical algorithms.
