just when you think you are starting to 'get' music

I am always amazed and usually stupefied every time I scratch the surface of music knowledge.
recently, while doing a bit of research on wikipedia, I ran across these mind blowing topics: (which link to many more brain bending topics!)
Just Intonation
Pythagorean Tuning
Close Harmony
Beat (acoustics)
Mathematics of Musical Scales

So, now post any cool little tips or musical phenomena that you have known that you found amazing in your previous experiences.
