The Science of Everything: In what ways has the world and the universe been shaped by women

Art and music have traditionally been observed as expressions of creativity; domains where emotions and instinct reign. But the present age has its reasons for doubting such perceptions because the science of these art forms is crystal clear. There is a structure in the beautiful combination of notes, rhythms and colours, a structure that exists in the universe. The renowned M. S. Subbulakshmi, the legendary Carnatic singer did not just sing; she wielded the mathematics present in the ragas and understood how each note has frequency patterns that touch the soul.

A great example of using a modern approach to ancient Tibetan music is Nun Ani Choying Drolma, who’s not only a nun but also a musician. She and others like her treat this form of art as a form of science, blending ancient practices with the modern world, in such a way that it creates a healing bridge uniting the mind, body, and spirit. Choying’s music acts as a modern day science, spiritually setting the world in harmony. Sowing the seeds of a greater movement, Drolma and her peers exemplify the beauty that exists at the intersection of art and science
