I enjoyed this chapter very much as well, even though my knowledge of physics and astronomy is very rudimentary at best. Larsen brings a unique slant to the topic of the Great Music, with connections to science that are both fascinating and insightful. I think this chapter is an excellent one to start off the various points-of-view on Tolkien's creation mythology, though I need to reread it to remember details.
