Can anyone speak to the Physics of the Ainulindale? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

**lindil** · 03-19-2003, 01:49 PM

I now that there is a lot of research and interesting theories being studied re: Sound and the inter-relatedness of matter, can anyone in the know perhaps say what kind of light this throws on the Ainulindale, and Eru first expounding his idea to the ainur, and then the Ainur bring forth the vision in song and then Eru manifesting it as creation [albieit in potentium]?

In all fairness as to my motives [other than natural curiosity [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]], those who participate may be asked if they are willing to let all or part of their contributions be used in a commentary to an Ainlindale entry in a planned 'Tolkien/LEgendarium - Guide/Encyclopedia'

[see here and here for a few more details about the project if you wish].

thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to share what they know.
