Major scientific breakthroughs are generally the result of materializing creative ideas, an inductive process that sometimes spontaneously and unexpectedly generates a link between thoughts and/or objects did not exist before. Creativity is cornerstone thinking, but scientists in academia judged by metrics quantification often leave little room for thinking. In many fields, reductionist approaches rewarded new ideas viewed skeptically. As result, inquiry confined to narrow safe disciplinary ivory towers, effectively preventing profoundly explorations could yield unexpected benefits. This paper argues how apparently unrelated fields specifically music belief systems can be combined provocative allegory provide novel perspectives regarding patterns nature, thereby potentially inspiring innovation natural, social other sciences. The merger basic human tensions such as those embodied religion music, example heavy metal genre deathcore, may perceived controversial, challenging, uncomfortable. However, it moving thinking out unconsciously established comfort zones, through connection entities. We argue auditory art form, has potential enlighten boost science.
