Queries On Universal Nature, Or Nature of the Universe :smile: Options

This is in response to a post at the Shlokas thread -- Gayatri Mantra

Can sound (as we know it) be generated in space ?? Theres no (known) medium between the fast moving bodies for sound travel. Else we'd all have evolved as deaf creatures, or probably developed an alternate way to understand sound amidst all the terrible (and terrific) background noise.

Is energy created in the universe (apart from E=mc^2) ? The kinetic energy of galaxies is simply the energy they possess due to their motion. If they stopped moving, all the KE would be transformed into some form of potential energy, I believe. (Although that might lead the collpase of galaxies due to intense gravitational fields). And where is the sink (if any) where energy is consumed ??

Thanks bibhas. Great effort .. par kaash mere bhoose mein ye baat ghus paata
I'd love to get into the technicalities, but frankly, I wouldnt be doing justice to your efforts. There seems to be a mental block in me in understanding music. I shd probably adopt T-ji's signature, and just enjoy music, without trying to understand it.

A quick note though ---- why is human hearing on a logarithmic scale and not on a linear scale ? Why is it that only a specific sequence of frequencies sound 'melodious', while sequence of any intermediate frequencies (which is what I'm good at!) sounds cacophonous ? What is it in us that is "naturally tuned" to those frequencies ? Am I making any sense ?
