The healing power of music reaches beyond our souls - it might help fight cancer!
Scientists found that Beethoven's iconic Symphony No. 5 destroyed cancer cells in the lab while leaving healthy cells untouched. (Study done in vitro, not in a human yet.)
Cancer cells were exposed to the thunderous "da-da-da-DUM" of Beethoven's masterpiece. What happened next astounded researchers - 20% of the cancer cells were eliminated, as if the music itself was conducting a symphony of
healing.
Even more fascinating, another piece - Ligeti's haunting
"Atmosphères" - showed similar cancer-fighting properties. It's as if these timeless compositions carry a hidden power that science is only beginning to unlock.
Dr. Márcia Alves Marques Capella and her passionate team at Rio de Janeiro's Federal University aren't stopping there. They're expanding their musical palette to include the vibrant rhythms of Samba and Funk, searching for nature's own soundtrack to healing.
Could the future of cancer treatment include musical therapy alongside traditional methods? While early in their journey, these scientists are composing a new chapter in medical history - one where the transformative power of music might help heal not just our spirits, but our bodies too.

音樂的療癒力量超越了我們的靈魂——它可能有助於對抗癌症！
科學家發現，貝多芬的標誌性作品《第五號交響曲》在實驗室中摧毀了癌細胞，同時卻不影響健康細胞。 （該研究是在體外進行的，尚未在人體上進行。）
癌細胞暴露在貝多芬傑作雷鳴般的「噠噠噠DUM」聲中。接下來發生的事讓研究人員震驚——20%的癌細胞被消滅了，就好像音樂本身正在演奏一首治癒的交響曲。
更令人著迷的是另一首曲子——利蓋蒂的令人難忘的
「Atmosphères」 表現出了類似的抗癌特性。這些永恆的作品似乎蘊含著一種隱藏的力量，而科學才剛開始發掘這股力量。
裡約熱內盧聯邦大學的瑪西婭·阿爾維斯·馬克斯·卡佩拉博士和她充滿熱情的團隊並沒有就此止步。他們正在擴大自己的音樂範圍，納入森巴和放克的活力節奏，尋找大自然自身的療癒配樂。
未來的癌症治療是否會將音樂療法與傳統療法結合？雖然他們還處於探索的早期階段，但這些科學家正在譜寫醫學史上的新篇章——音樂的變革力量可能不僅能幫助治癒我們的精神，還能幫助治癒我們的身體。

In 1946, a pivotal encounter took place between two of the 20th century's greatest minds: architect Le Corbusier and physicist Albert Einstein. Le Corbusier, renowned for his modernist architectural vision, had traveled to New York to present his proposal for the United Nations Headquarters, a landmark design that would embody international cooperation and progress. After his presentation, he visited Princeton, where Einstein was a professor. The two discussed the “Modulor,”
an innovative system of proportions developed by Le Corbusier, aimed at harmonizing human scale in architecture. The "Modulor" was a synthesis of mathematical proportions and human dimensions, and Le Corbusier sought Einstein's perspective on this framework.
Their conversation, however, didn’t go as smoothly as Le Corbusier had hoped. Stressed and uncertain, he struggled to express his ideas clearly. Einstein, ever patient and thoughtful, took a pencil and began to calculate, focusing on the mathematical aspects of the “Modulor.” At one point, Le Corbusier interrupted him, and the discussion veered off course. Despite this, Einstein later sent a letter that reflected a deep understanding of Le Corbusier’s work. In his letter, Einstein praised the “Modulor” as a scale of proportions that made the “bad difficult and the good easy,” a comment that Le Corbusier found both scientifically insightful and artistically encouraging.
This meeting between the two intellectuals is a perfect example of the intersection of art, science, and philosophy in the mid-20th century. Both Le Corbusier’s architectural ideas and Einstein’s scientific theories emphasized harmony, order, and a deeper understanding of the world around us. Their conversation, though unfinished in some respects, cemented a mutual respect between the disciplines of science and architecture. Le Corbusier’s “Modulor,” which was influenced by human proportions and natural geometry, continued to shape architectural theory and practice, proving that the quest for beauty and function in design could indeed find a balance with scientific reasoning.

1946 年，20 世紀兩位最偉大的人物：建築師勒·柯布西耶和物理學家阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦之間發生了一次關鍵性的會面。以現代主義建築理念聞名的勒‧柯比意曾前往紐約展示他的聯合國總部設計方案，這是一項體現國際合作與進步的里程碑式設計。演講結束後，他參觀了愛因斯坦擔任教授的普林斯頓大學。兩人討論了“模數”，這是勒·柯布西耶開發的創新比例係統，旨在協調建築中的人性化尺度。 「模數」是數學比例和人體尺寸的綜合，勒·柯比意在這個框架上尋求愛因斯坦的視角。
然而，他們的談話並不像勒‧柯比意所希望的那樣順利。他感到壓力重重、不確定，很難清楚表達自己的想法。愛因斯坦一貫耐心而深思熟慮，他拿起鉛筆開始計算，重點關注「模數」的數學方面。有一次，勒·柯比意打斷了他，討論偏離了主題。儘管如此，愛因斯坦後來還是發了一封信，反映出他對勒‧柯比意作品的深刻理解。愛因斯坦在信中稱讚“模數”是一種比例尺，它能使“壞的變得困難，好的變得容易”，勒·柯布西耶認為他的評論不僅在科學上富有洞察力，在藝術上也令人鼓舞。
兩位知識分子的這次會面是20世紀中期藝術、科學和哲學交會的完美典範。勒‧柯比意的建築理念和愛因斯坦的科學理論都強調和諧、秩序和對周遭世界的更深刻理解。他們的對話雖然在某些方面尚未完成，但卻鞏固了科學和建築學科之間的相互尊重。勒·柯比意的「模數」受到人體比例和自然幾何的影響，繼續塑造建築理論和實踐，證明了設計對美感和功能的追求確實可以透過科學推理找到平衡。
