School III · Lesson 11 of 15
Number: The Language of Order
Core idea: from ancient Greece to modern physics, people have found that the world follows patterns that numbers can describe.
The Lesson
Around the 6th century BCE, the followers of Pythagoras made a discovery that changed how people saw the world. They noticed that musical harmony follows simple number ratios:
Halve a string and it plays the same note an octave higher. Something that feels beautiful to the ear turned out to be a simple fraction. The Pythagoreans were so struck that they're remembered for the saying "all is number."
