Does music contain energy we cannot measure, an essence so to speak?

[QUOTE="Tzs503gp, post: 1117916, member: 19443"] I came up with another parallel to this question. How far is 20km? a) If you’re driving on the highway? b) If your car breaks down in the Karoo? c) If your car breaks down in the Karoo and you have two small children with you and no water, and its 42C? A measurement might be absolute, but its interpretation is a matter of perspective. We do not all share the same perspective. Earlier I said No, there isn’t anything in music we cant measure. What we actually cant measure is the perspective of the listener. Against what do we measure the reaction of the listener? The answer then remains the same but needs further elaboration: No, there is nothing absolute that we cant measure in music. [/QUOTE]
