Pythagoras harmony of the spheres

[Pall Thayer]

Just had a discussion with someone and it seems that no-one's picking up on the connection so this is me pointing it out:

Because the Pythagoreans thought that the heavenly bodies are separated from one another by intervals corresponding to the harmonic lengths of strings, they held that the movement of the spheres gives rise to a musical sound-the "universal harmony of the spheres."
