This paper is a bit of an oddity for my research rather than give insight to my paper it shows the true disconnect we have to music. While some people seem to be born with the ability to sing and play music forming instruments may be the hardest task humans have given ourselves Pythagoras lived in the time where philosophers were expected to contribute a lot to society in the way of scientific discovery and his theorem being one of the biggest precursors to calculus shows he has some mathematical chops but when it came to music his experiments turned out to be wrong it was just a simple mathematical way to determine musical scale but when his experiments showed to have the wrong ratio using the same methods hundreds of years later it shows that people can have an aversion to something we consider to be so necessary to our species this was good for my paper because I can use it to show the disconnect of music and humans its bad because most of the paper was used to tell how all gigantic phenomenon can be boiled down to smaller aspects of life not a lot to do with music
