Big Picture Science - Alien Says What?
Whales are aliens on
Earth; intelligent beings who have skills for complex problem-solving and their
own language. Now in what’s being called a breakthrough, scientists have
carried on an extended conversation with a humpback whale. They share the story
of this remarkable encounter, their evidence that the creature understood them,
and how the experiment informs our Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.
After all, what good is it to make contact with ET if we can’t communicate?
Guests:
- Brenda McCowan – Research behaviorist at the University of California Davis in the School of Veterinary Medicine who studies the ecological aspects of animal behavior and communication.
- Fred Sharpe – whale biologist and behavioral ecologist at Simon Fraser University and member of the Templeton WhaleSETI Team.
- Laurance Doyle – astrophysicist and information theory researcher at the SETI Institute.
