Raise this orphan! Bach and the periodic table via Buckminster Fuller
Page 258, ‘Nine Chains to the Moon’ (1938): ‘Bach’s point-counterpoint mathematical ramification of music is the harmoniously sensorial counterpart of Mendelejeff’s abstract exploration (CHH—the periodic table); interestingly the octave period is common to both.’
Later. ‘Mendelejeff inserted all the mathematical descriptions of the undiscovered elements. One by one over a period of 70 years science has discovered them and has found them to have precisely each and every characteristic prognosticated by Mendelejeff'
