Let's imagine that gravity was associated with dropping 100 balls into a pit of stiff mud. The balls are all equal in size to one another. They differ ONLY in their weight, the heaviest being pure lead, the lightest being balsa wood, and all the other balls are somewhere in between.
All the balls are dropped from the same height, at the same time, and into the same mud which has a uniform stiff-ness throughout the pit. The heaviest is at the far left, looking at it head on, and the lightest is at the far right, just like the setup of a piano. The mud is allowed to dry, and a cross-section of the pit is taken. Sure enough, from heaviest to lightest, the size of the cylinders is proportional to the weight of the ball, and the radius of each cylinder is exactly equal to every other cylinder. They differ only in length.
The whole thing resembles a Pan Flute, the deeper ones as associated with the lower tones, the less deep with higher tones in the flute.
Would this suggest that there is a musical characteristic to gravity which should be considered in its understanding? Is there something about gravity which is closely associated with our concept of musical harmony?
