Whales could help humans communicate with aliens, according to SETI researchers. NGO that searches for communication signals from other civilizations.
Researchers have studied the language of cetaceans to create systems that help them Better determine potential signals sent to Earth by extraterrestrial intelligenceAccording to what was reported by El Confidencial newspaper.
The team had a 20-minute ‘conversation’ with one of these high-seas mammals.”It is the first communication exchange of its kind between humans Humpback whales have their own language.
NASA is also conducting studies in natural places on Earth, such as Antarctica, to better understand How some organisms can survive in extreme environments like Mars.
“Humpback whales are very smart, They have complex social systems and make tools “Bubble nets capture fish and communicate widely with both songs and social calls,” explained Fred Sharp, a researcher with the Alaska Whale Foundation.
One of the humpback whales studied responded to a pre-recorded greeting signal that scientists broadcast through an underwater speaker. The animal, nicknamed Twin, responded to each call by emitting signals at intervals similar to the pre-recorded sound, according to SETI Institute researchers, a team of scientists from the University of California Davis and the Alaska Whale Foundation.
For scientists, this conversation with mammals could help us figure out how to “understand” aliens. The goal is to develop filters that expand the type of signals we use to detect Possible communications sent by aliens.
Aside from the SETI study, scientists have done amazing research On the complexity of the “language” of humpback whales. According to the new article, the sound made by whales could be similar to that of humans.
