I can't think of anything more Earthly than enjoying the beauty of mathematics and music

  Wouldn’t mathematics transcend our tiny blue dot? Sure topics like geography, biology and history don’t surely math and physics do!

    No, I think mathematics and physics are invented by humans in a human form for humans, but then again, I’m a theoretical physicist, so I’m biased

  Wow, for me things that can't be physically represented (at a human scale anyway) such as most of mathematics, physics, and frankly music are fascinating, definitely feel real, can be explored, but yes, are beyond concrete representation. Could one write a 16-part invention? I doubt it; certainly I think it would be hard to conceive of playing it, but I can "look into" a complex invention as I hear it and see how it could subdivide and get an idea of where that could lead. Certainly anything beyond the physically representative is to me sublime, and still able to trigger synesthesthetic response.

    I don't have synesthesia, and I don't really have a concept of the sublime. All of reality is "the same" to me
