Abstract
This final chapter describes future perspectives of music as a comprising cultural achievement of humans. We discuss the interconnectedness of music with mathematics and physics from Pythagoras to String Theory and its global human presence. This transcends specific fields of knowledge in its synthetical force that unifies distant fields of knowledge and action in concrete and abstract realms.

Notes
- 1.
The Internet was invented by Tim Berners Lee at the CERN to coordinate nuclear research efforts globally.
- 2.
Even where music is virtually forbidden, with the Taliban, for example, its force is recognized, and that is why it is forbidden, sad irony.
- 3.
These are photons for the electromagnetic force, W and Z bosons for the weak force, gluons for strong force, and hypothetical gravitons for gravitation.
- 4.
The number of transformations on the local score of the presto Ⓡ software described in Sect. 17.2.2 is
$$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 10^{\prime}445^{\prime}260^{\prime}466^{\prime}832^{\prime}483^{\prime}579^{\prime}436^{\prime}191^{\prime}905^{\prime}936^{\prime}640^{\prime}000 \approx 1.04453\times 10^{37}. \end{aligned}$$
