Thank you for your informative replies ,I got your points and i appreciate , I'm sorry if the title sounded as dumb as me , it's just that I couldn't find the right words at that moment and i needed the information no matter what . One more thing to ask ; Can anyone recommend to me a book dealing primarily with this issue? making the Rhythm/odd meters/pulse/beat etc its main subject .. if there were any at all! Dominus :P , and thx to composerorganist for clearing me up , thx again to all I'm glad i joined this forum.

My friend told me that any piece would sound the same whether notated in 4/4 or 2/2 , even in 11/8 or 7/2 etc . , at the end its a type of measurement resembling a ruler where we agree on the value of one single measuring unit , like 1 centimeter or 1 inch , and then grouping every 10 centimeters , and so on.. I guess that mathematically he may be right , but my musical instinct tells me not , Can u help me understand this matter once and for all ,, Thank you.
