yet but if string theory be true then the essence of everything is simply vibrations it's amazing that these vibrations you see because sound doesn't actually exist people sound is an interaction there's no such thing as sound it doesn't have a physical kind of reality to it sound is the interaction between waves a waves sound waves which
are simply just waves in the air and an organism that interprets those waves so that that kind of also solves the age-old question that if a tree falls in the forest and nobody's there to observe it does it make a sound no it doesn't make a sound because the sound doesn't actually have a reality to it there is no actual thing a sound in that sense it's a waves being measured by an organism being not just measured sorry
interpreted and received by an organism so and and the fact that music can actually heal people and many Muslims during the medieval times they had in the hospitals marathons they used column they had music therapy as a healing kind of mechanism and people that are sometimes you know suffering from certain neuronal degenerative illnesses you can find that music helps them it actually helps in
the brain how could this be Haram how could that be at all it makes no sense whatsoever
