Why is there no Cflat?

Why is there no C flat or F flat? Simply because, acoustically speaking, there is no room in our current system for another pitch between B and C, or E and F. The scale was originally conceived of as a 7 note scale, with the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, G.

Where is E or B Sharp? There is no definitive reason why our current music notation system is designed as it is today with no B or E sharp, but one likely reason is due to the way western music notation evolved with only 7 different notes in a scale even though there are 12 total semitones.
