"Is There Music in Space?--Yes"
Peter Henry Cheasley (Independent Scholar)
Music recognition computer programs have become available. In 1996, the
author of this poster paper, Peter Henry Cheasley VE2TPR, recognized that
the noise coming in over his radio telescope, 3.5ghz , was music. The use of
this recognition computer program permitted the immediate conversion of the
incoming signal to musical notes based on the harmonic system of music.
Version 3.0 introduced enharmonic notes into the recognition process and
version 3.2
permits a more sensitive capacity .
Radio telescope observations are recorded daily. Those of importance are
submitted to The Seti League, P.O. Box 555, Little Ferry, NJ ,U.S.A., for
peer review. See www.setileague.org.
This fact that music exists in space is determined by practice. The future
starts with two questions: Space and Planet Earth used the enharmonic music
scale until 1300 AD: Why? Philippe de Vitry replaced the enharmonic scale
with the harmonic music scale, in Europe: Why?
