The book, “Mind in the Waters” has wonderful stories about cetaceans. My favorite bit of info about them is that when humpback whales go to Hawaii to give birth, they sing very long songs. Scientists have determined that they sing the same long song every year, with a new addition at the end each year. It’s like they’re teaching their history to their young and adding a new chapter each year. Fascinating!

@conorlarkin71355 жыл бұрын
Ani Skywalker I agree that sustainability isn’t the only factor that should be considered. I think the most important factor is the method of killing and the animals cognitive complexity, which yields a greater capacity for self-consciousness and a more robust sense of fear, dread and suffering. I actually think that all commercial whaling should be illegal, but I think the cases of aboriginal whaling should receive special consideration. In the example of the Faroe Islands, the small size and isolation of the islands creates obstacles for food sourcing and therefore they rely on local small scale farming (in which animals are slaughtered regularly) and hunting. I have difficulty telling populations, ones that don’t have the ready access to food that people in more commercialized and developed regions do, to change their practices. However this debate about the Faroese practice may soon be moot as fewer and fewer people are consuming whale meat due to increasing levels of mercury in whales due to pollution, which itself raises another ethical question.

If you stop the video at 2:28, you can see the standing waves inside the spermacetti organ produce the horizontal bars, with a SPECIFIC vertical spacing, which is the identifier for each animal, due to the geometry of the organ. The vertical spacing would be absolutely unique for each whale, like a fingerprint. After the horizontal startup tones, the clicks start, and these are echo location. I'm assuming the picture is a spectrogram, with frequency on the Y axis, higher frequency on top, and the X axis is time, of one minute, showing a full communication cycle. A lot of the click modulation is coming from the pressure waves of the right nostril passage, below the entire spermacetti organ, causing it to vibrate with lateral standing waves. This is what causes the frequency modulation of the previously smooth horizontal frequency tones. The frequency modulation is very complex, since each front-to-back acoustic standing wave is being interfered with, by several up-and-down standing waves, caused by the vibration from the bottom side of the spermacetti organ. This modulation happens because the right nostril is a flat bladder under the entire width of the spermacetti organ. So, that is how the physical tone modulation is done, and that physical setup would make it easy to repeat, identically each time. So, what is the information content? The start is unmodulated, so that is saying "Hello, it's me". The modulated part of the left burst (the clicking) is mostly echo location. I count 24 high frequency clicks, which have most of the energy, which makes sense, as the higher frequencies will give better sonar resolution, when the echo bounces back. I think the real information of the message is the center part, where the tall frequency bands look somewhat like human speech on an oscilloscope. That is where the software could correlate with the actions of the whale who is speaking. Obviously, it is a blend of amplitude modulation, and frequency modulation. They could pack a LOT of information in a few seconds of that, since they are speaking in multiple tones, at the same time, compared to sequential human speech in one tone. Finally, the horizontal bars on the right side of the spectrogram are saying: "OK, that is what I had to say, someone else can talk now, this was me talking, I'm done now". So, the center of the spectrogram is the "speech" part, the horizontal bands on the left and right are formatting/Identification/echo location, and probably some political stuff, like "I'm dominant", etc. The formatting is like any computer language, where there is a protocol, with a header, main body that contains the message, and the end marker. You can see where the speech ends, the diagonals are like a person trailing off... "we'll that about does it for me, I'm done now"... that type of thing, like a slide whistle, an easy marker to listen for, so you don't interrupt someone while they are still speaking. The cool part would be seeing the slide whistle stop and go back down, and they would be saying "one more thing, I almost forgot to mention"... So, the center of the message is the juicy part, and probably each pod has their own dialect, with distant populations not able to understand each other. Best of luck with this research, it is so badly needed! ALL whale species must be saved from extinction, and brought back to their pre-industrial populations. I think Japan will be wiped off the map, by the planet, herself, for the horrific sin of killing these intelligent beings, who are probably far superior to us in every way.

We humans are on a different level of vibration and send out frequencies made from emotions from our thoughts. This is how animals "sense" us. Being a conscious human, whales understand that we are and have this vibration of communication. Only we need to learn to use our thoughts with intent to communicate with them which in turn will create a vibration to be sent forth to the whales. It is through imagination this is achieved.

Trees are proto-neurons and many millions are consumed by destructive greedy monkey-man for fun and profit. Urth communicates with her analog mega-organism far far away and cetaceans are an integral (literally) component to conveying and receiving messages of sister Urths. Monkey-man has limitless greed and ceaselessly exploits Urth, a conservatory for all sentient beings. Urth’s health is in peril and she will shake monkey-man off her back just like she did with Dino (also limitlessly greedy). Interstellar guardians will ‘take care’ of everything else. So long and thanks for all the fish.

I've always wanted to create an interface, and this would be fun for sea-world, with speakers, or "clickers" if you will, out in the ocean, connected via cables to a room or a hall in Sea-World where a computer program translates these click patterns to English, and people in the audience can speak with these whales, and the corresponding click pattern will be output through these speakers/microphone complex. And with triangulation and a giant world-map, the people can see exactly where the pod is that they are speaking to, and it will be great. It can be very primitive at first, like just a couple of click patterns can be translated, as they are figured out.. and we can grow from there.. eventually telling the whales, in their own language, "Hey, we are those little skinny guys that come from the surface.." "We are speaking to you, from the land, off of the California Coast".. And eventually, when we all get good at it, and program in the grammar structure, and have thousands of words, we can tune in at specific times, and talk to specific older whales, and they can tell us stories of the past, and of things past on through the oral, or click-oral" tradition, from long ago. We can ask them about philosophy and spirituality, squid hunting and if they have seen any under-ocean E.T. bases, ask them about other whale types.

After doing a little research on this topic of whales intelligence and consciousness. Some questions comes to mind. They have excellent memories and perhaps even record their history verbally. I wonder. Have we forgotten our origins but they have not? Do they remember humans before they left the seas? Have we ever been able to communicate with these creatures in the past? Curious thoughts that come to my mind.

I think that what he said last is the most important part actually - if we are ever going to be able to communicate with an alien life form, starting here with communication with intelligent creatures can be seen as our tutorial level in this regard. How are we ever going to learn an alien language if we can't figure out what whales are saying? I mean: Human: *points to landed space ship* What do you call that? Alien 1: Alien 2: The opportunity for misinterpretations will be SO big.

These whales have great civilizations below water, believe me I've been there, they reached the moon one year earlier back in 1968.

You can even just feel the clicking through this video.. I actually had to turn the volume down as it was almost like vibrating my brain. I've never experienced anything like that..

Its sad when you relies how smart they are. They probably know they are about to die when they get caught.

they also use the sounds to see...what if they don't talk through words? I mean, we always see things from our perspective cause that's all we have, but what if they are actually sending like, pictures, you know? The sound is what we hear but what if they feel vibration and have meetings to them? I don't know. Pot got me thinking 🤔

Your the third person to say that, in the comments. Ive been messaging the other two about it. Its brilliant, and I believe it to be partly or fully the basis of their communications. Which would also break the barrier of them having different languages or dialects. Which makes them more mentally advanced than humans. Hope you read this.

What if their language isn’t like our in terms of how we identify things. Like for example we usually identify things like an apple but the name apple but what if whales identify an apple by another form or multiple forms? Idk I’m just thinking maybe we should think outside the box a bit on how their communication works and less on how “human” it is. I really hope we get it soon. If we can identify these creatures as intelligent life forms then we will be able to extend to them rights. I don’t see how we’ve given rights to robots of all things nowadays and not a living being.
