In Essence, We String Theorists Have Been Trying To Work Out The Score Of The Universe, The Harmonies Of The Universe, The Mathematical Vibrations That The Strings Would Play. So Musical Metaphors Have Been With Us In Science Since The Beginning.

The Revelation We've Come To Is That We Can Trust Our Memories Of A Past With Lower, Not Higher, Entropy Only If The Big Bang - The Process, Event, Or Happening That Brought The Universe Into Existence - Started Off The Universe In An Extraordinarily Special, Highly Ordered State Of Low Entropy.
