  • Sperm whales may be capable of more complex communication than previously thought using clicks and rhythms similar to human language, according to new research.
    Scientists believe artificial intelligence will one day help them learn to communicate with the whales in the same way. If successful, it would be the first time that humans have spoken with another species.

    I just saw a video where a guy made five taps on his waterproof camera housing and got a sperm whale to stop dead in its tracks and investigate. He believed it was a greeting sound. So we know how to say hello in at least one dialect

    Do they look closely at the relationships between the pod and a newly born calf, how they teach the calves language? What are their thoughts on regional dialects (like orcas and crows likely have) and how that plays in to decoding the codas? Where do I find the answers to these questions?!

    The problem is they cannot communicate with us so they can explain every meaning of the clicks, for me is more shocking it took so long for scientist to figutre it out

    This is amazing but I can’t help but think about the monologue of Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy lol. Imagine if we can actually take the next step and communicate with them on some level.

    If they learn to speak to whales they should start with an apology on behalf of our species.

      That’s the goal. It’s thrilling and unnerving at the same time.
      Do they tell stories about their experiences and the experiences of their ancestors? Or, is it’s simple communication?

      Things with brains must sleep. It's when the Neural Healing takes place. In humans that's in REM sleep when our glials get to work.

      Aliens would mean life on other planets and that would be the discovery of the millenium! It is wonderful that sperm whales can speak, but we are still related. Alien life would be, well alien. Completely unrelated to any creature on Earth
