(Classic) Music is an Art, but, it is also a Science?

I wish to drop this idea in order to get informed of the opinions prevalent among us members. I began learning piano at the age of 5. I devoted my life to teaching piano.
Before Creation, it has been said, there was Nothing, there was Darkness, there was Silence.  But Sound and Light must have been part of the Beginning. Next, please? Thank you.

... What?

I agree, and I'd like to add evolution to that. I won't be mentioning either, though, because I have no idea what this thread's about...

ok. guys.  i'm going to be really disciplined and only talk about the northern lights.

occasionally the northern lights is seen in anchorage, where i am from, and it is stunning.  pbs recently had a documentary on this light show and said that the storms on the sun occasionally cause these discharges of energy (at various temps and with various chemical composition - creating different colors when it strikes our atmosphere).  we have a sort of shield from the sun - but despite this deflection - our atmostphere sometimes takes in these random solar flares.  if they are really huge - they will be seen way past the arctic circle (even down to latitudes of arizona).  this is how much our earth shield protects us from the sun's flare ups.

now, if u watch the dancing of the northern lights - and all the colors and magnetic doings (the way it moves) - it is nothing less than mystifying.  music is mystifying in how it affects us, too.  what causes us to have emotion when we listen to music or watch the night sky?  our eyes and minds are taking in information, processing it - and realizing that there are elements that tie the universe together in an awesome way.  music to tame our stresses - the northern lights do that too.  i don't personally think that string theory is any different than the 'strings of God' holding everything together.  i do think the universe is held together by a commonality of this love.  otherwise, these seemingly insignificant solar flares would have burned our earth to smitherenes.  there wouldn't be the deflection.
