Musical Revolution

Philosophers of the ancient world believed that different musical "modes" influenced Human Beings in different ways. 

They clearly knew what modern scientists believe they have discovered (when really they have merely rediscovered) that all matter vibrates at a certain frequency and is affected by harmonious or discordant frequencies.

It seems that ancient musical instruments were constructed so that the note A was tuned to 432 hertz.  However, around the time of the second world war, this was changed and a musical standard of A being tuned to 440 hertz was adopted.

Some theorists claim that the 440 hertz tuning affects Human Beings in a way that makes them more aggressive - they also claim that the Nazis were instrumental in adopting the 440 hertz tuning.

Watch the videos below and decide for yourself.
