As astrophysicists like Neil deGrasse Tyson learn more about the   cosmos and present their often strange and wondrous findings to the   public, the creative mind can’t help but be captivated and inspired, and  composers are certainly no exception.

From super strings to quarks,  multiple dimensions to M theory, we’ll  play several imaginative works by  composers captivated by our  universe.
