But a name you might not expect to see on that list is Sir Isaac Newton, president of the Royal Society and leader of the Scientific Revolution. And for good reason: he pretty much never wrote about music. It wasn\u2019t an area particularly that interested him, and he rarely if ever listened to music for fun. But as a part of his well-rounded education, he did learn music *theory*, and a nearly-forgotten notebook from his college years tells us a lot about how he understood the subtle art of sound.<\/p>\n<p>Merch: <a href=\"http:\/\/standard.tv\/12tone\">http:\/\/standard.tv\/12tone<\/a>.<br \/> Discord: <a href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/pq2QBEw\">https:\/\/discord.gg\/pq2QBEw<\/a>.<br \/> Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/12tonevideos\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/12tonevideos<\/a>.<br \/> Mastodon: <a href=\"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@12tonevideos\">https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@12tonevideos<\/a>.<br \/> Email: <a href=\"mailto:12tonevideos@gmail.com.\">12tonevideos@gmail.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Script w\/ sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2vetb33p\">https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2vetb33p<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Huge thanks to our Elephant Club members:<\/p>\n<p>Jill Jones.<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2024\/12\/isaac-newtons-lost-musical-insights\">Continue reading \u201cIsaac Newton\u2019s Lost Musical Insights\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The father of gravity had some thoughts about music.
