@Killa_K what i was saying was whales just hear thats how they perceive the world just sounds and frequencies no real sight just cold blue expanse and sounds

I like whales

theyre so cool

whales are super super interesting

there's theories that human language evolved out of a proto-language that was just pitches. not exactly music, but a system where meaning is conveyed through pitch relations.

music, as we know it today, is probably a byproduct of that proto language. I think that's why we can "feel" music.

when people make it about specific pitched or the devil that's going too far in the wrong direction. it's pseudoscience. that's what i was pointing out abt the 440 vs 432 s***.

whales

anyway what i was gonna say abt whale calls is that they've obviously developed from the same s*** our language developed from

but instead of going our path and developing a system best suited for close quarters, whales have a system meant for absolutely massive distances.

only certain whales have echolocation (where u actually see with sound) but that's the less interesting aspect to me. calls from sperm whales and stuff like that interests me WAY more.

The way we use pitch relations to convey things is mirrored in whales, but where we do pitches in sequence, whales are able to produce multiple pitches all at once.

they're basically able to understand sound the way a spectrogram sees it

they can read this, basically

and what's so interesting to me is that we are aware that's how they communicate but we're actually pretty far away from understanding any of it. and there's evidence whales and other sea mammals are complex and intelligent beings. it's entirely possible there's an alien language + society in the deep seas that we just don't have access to.

@doctor peep this

I like alien language
