SOT: music and quantum mechanics

Shortly i would put it as such... i think the closest example of 
which i can contrast the question at hand to (using metaphor as you 
know i am quite fond) would be the theory of general relativity and 
the theory of quantum mechanics. General relativity dissects things 
on an extremely small scale which is parallel to how polyphonic 
melodies and shapes move and operate. Quantum mechanics' purpose is 
to illuminate the properties of the large which is how discordant 
music operates; on a large and free scale full of speculation. The 
theory of quantum mechanics and general relativity are both beautiful 
yet they negate each other much like polyphonic and discordant 
musical ideologies. Furthermore and more bluntly - now the paradoxal 
truth rears its ugly head - one theory cannot exist without the other 
yet both cannot be true. thats brings us to say, "hello superstring 
theory." which is what i partially try to capture in [my] music; 
trying to be create the stringtheory in the world of  music.
