In this Colloquium I will revisit the interconnection between music and
the evolution of astrophysics and the laws of motion. We will explore
new ways music, in particlar Jazz music, mirrors modern physics, such as
quantum mechanics, general relativity and the physics of the early
universe. Finally, we will discuss ways that innovations in physics has
been and can be inspired from "improvissational logic" exemplified in
Jazz performance and practice.
