interchangeable, but what we don't understand, yet, is how. We do, however, have several theories.
Dr. Alfred Partheil was a professor of pharmacology in
Konisburg Germany at the end of the 1800's.
His work has lead to one of our most interesting areas of
research, the association of various chemicals to a low frequency in the audible region.
Specifically, Dr. Partheil noticed a relationship between the
atomic weight of each element and its vibration number and musical note. Here is a table of his research findings. Notice that he is using the values for of the elements as they were known in his time.
For accuracy verification, we have included the original paper in German
