[00:00:00]One day, while walking through the streets of Croton, Pythagoras passed a blacksmith shop. With his sensitive ears, he heard the rhythmic clanging of hammers on anvils.

[00:00:12]But to him, it wasn't just noise.

[00:00:14]Hammers of different sizes produced different tones, and these sounds created a perfect harmony together.

[00:00:22]Think about it. When you hear a construction site today, it's usually just noise, right?

[00:00:27]But Pythagoras caught something else, a hidden order, a mathematical logic behind those sounds.

[00:00:34]He stopped to examine the hammers >> [music] >> and found four of them, each with a weight in the ratios 6, 8, 9, [music] and 12 units.

[00:00:44]He realized that these pleasant sounds weren't random. They were governed by mathematical proportions.
