Editing Karlheinz Stockhausen (section)

====Sirius star system====
In an obituary in the German newspaper ''[[Die Zeit]]'', Karlheinz Stockhausen was quoted as having said: "I was educated at [[Sirius]] and want to return to there, although I am still living in Kürten near Cologne."{{sfn|Reier|2007}} On hearing about this, conductor [[Michael Gielen]] stated: "When he said he knew what was happening at Sirius, I turned away from him in horror. I haven't listened to a note since." He called Stockhausen's statements "hubris" and "nonsense", while at the same time defending his own belief in [[astrology]]: "Why should these large celestial bodies exist if they do not stand for something? I cannot imagine that there is anything senseless in the universe. There is much we do not understand".{{sfn|Hagedorn|2010}}
