Music, Pythagoras and the Universe
Starting from the study of music and relationships derived from the eighth connection length of a vibrating string Pythagoras and the disciples of his school in Crotone (founded about in 531 BC) made a numerical rule of universal harmony which the planets were arranged around a central fire in a heliocentric theory in a precise mathematical relationship probably derived from the music. Many of the knowledge of the Pythagoreans were lost following the destruction of their home-school by the so-called "democratic" [ ... ] who burned alive almost all the adherents except for two (mentioned in Plato's dialogues with their disciples), but is possible guess that the rule for calculating the distance in the disposition of the ten planets around the central Sun were based on the power of number three ritual, to note that even in the current empirical law of Titius-Bode the planetary distances is calculated using a mathematical formula.
