Crosses fingers for Chuck... YES. Neil, Chuck, and experts. The perfect formula 👌

I think this is my favorite field of expertise you've brought on the show yet. More of these ocean people please!

This is the best StartTalk video/potcast I have seen so far and it happens is not about stars at all.

Did anyone else notice how chuck got in trouble at 14:44 for being too on the nose about money and quickly changes his attitude 😂. Observe how they didn't show Neil's video during this time.

Another brilliant episode of AquaTalk.

Amazing guests, very fascinating topic , and chuck is so funny lol. Thank you very much for this amazing show

Another way to communicate underwater that the speakers in this video missed, is that some marine animals may be communicate is via light and color. There are many sea animals that emit light and some that can change their colors. For instance the octopus. From National Geographic: "The octopus can also change to gray, brown, pink, blue, or green to blend in with its surroundings. Octopuses may also change color as a way to communicate with other octopuses." (Google "octopus color"). In the blink of an eye, squid can change from sandy brown to vibrant red or ripple with bright metallic rainbows. Their color-changing abilities (and those of their fellow cephalopods, octopus and cuttlefish) are more sophisticated than any found in the animal kingdom. (Google "squid color").

I wish we could have had more questions and full answers from the marine experts. They were interrupted so much that they hardly got the chance to fully expand on their answers. Dr. Garland basically threw in the towel and I can't blame her. Shout out to Dr. Fournet for keeping up and pushing her answers through. Good thing I watched the beautiful documentary.

cuttlefish, octopus, and squid use color changes to signal each other in encounters. That's communication w/out sound.

@Nic B They answered questions like at 15:03, "Do you think that intelligent life that lives beneath the surface could communicate using something else than sound?" The reply was, "It's really all about sound. I'd be really surprised if there was a different communication system." They weren't answering about just whales, and seem to be unaware of the results of research into communication by cephalopods, or at least nobody recalled it during the interview.

@38:00 try turning the sound down. We usually cringe because the volume and frequency upset us physically.

I love the show and watch almost every episode! Great stuff! Thanks! But I also have to comment, I think I speak for a lot of people by saying I enjoy Chuck's spontaneous questions. Why is it ok for Neil to go off on Star Wars tangents and Chuck can't ask a question? I understand that patreon customers' questions should be heard and I'm not arguing that, but wouldn't it be easier to just make the episodes a little longer and allow both instead of taking time complaining about Chuck asking questions and making it horribly awkward and slightly humiliating, you can even see it on the guest's faces, just saying.

i hope Michell and Ellen check these comments! this was one of my favorite episodes. but i also wanted to ask a question i hope they might could focus on... i suffer from a disability from my Military service called "CAPD" and its a auditory processing disorder. this got me to thinking and wondering: i understand the focus around the 30 min mark of this video, on making the sounds we back to the whales, but how do we know that the sounds we mimic are exactly correct for the ears of the whales to process correctly? in other words how do we know our sounds we send them are being "heard" properly? thanks for all you guys do and thanks to @StarTalk for doing this interview!!! Neil and Chuck you both are amazing!!!!!!!

❤️ the prime directive. Thanks for this segment.

i feel like chuck is becoming better and better with each episode

I hope they'll be back, this was fascinating

amazing topic

Yo chuck was on fire this is one of the funniest ones yet!

Has machine learning ever been used in whale song or elsewhere in the animal kingdom to decipher languages?

Wish I was the 5th member of this chat - could talk about this for hours and hours I'm sure :)

My mind is completely blown just shy of dropping me to the ground and the absolute wonder and fascinating beauty of learning this amazingly wonderful wonder of it all. The seemingly nearly universal drive to communicate to some purpose and end with others of their own species and our, as far as we know, unique drive to learn of the communications with other species. The depth (a dual meaning in light of the name of this episode) of the implications of our desire itself to research shines such light on our actual search for understanding other species. We truly are a species driven to know. For me, this is the intellectual wow of the search and of being alive. There is so much to learn and so little time. How I wish I had directed my life in another direction than the path I walked and wasted. If only I had know then what I believe myself to know now... To glimpse briefly into the beginning of believing to grasp the knowledge of knowing much I do not know and how gloriously fun and fulfilling it would be to pursue it. Oh, to have the moment of eternity to discuss it with you all. The joy of it I cannot grasp. It is beyond my comprehension. Peace and living the wonderl be with you!!!!!

Just amazing!!!

Whales don't "weigh anything" in water, but a whale is not a single particle. Different parts of the whale and its cells have different densities. That's how you can go underwater and still tell which way is up. For example a cell with some sort of dense grain in it could stimulate a nerve a different amount based on local variations in gravity.

The beauty of the human race is that we are self-exterminating, the whales don't need to lift a fin.

Well, one point for Neil, humans in cities can be pretty wild.

thanks for posting this interesting video subject... and I love your Carl Sagan quote

Chuck is the best

Chuck needs be on every star talk

if you fill the full gravitational force on earth I assume it's really hard to feel a slight change in it. but if you weight 0 on water and have the mass of a whale, maybe that small change in gravity force is noticeable.

Neil's voice is low frequency, but also high frequency in that he's always interrupting everyone.

8:30 F yeah Chuck! Lahaina Roads! I've been there too, so beautiful!!!!

Long time watcher/listener, first time commenter. Dr. Tyson’s comment ~10:30 mark regarding whales ability to detect gravity differentials seems a bit short sighted, or should I say far sighted. It’s true that whales and most other marine/aquatic life are neutrally buoyant, but that’s from a macroscopic perspective when considering the whale as a whole within its natural environment of the ocean. If we look closer to the internal biology of the whale it may have evolved certain adaptations over time that allows it to discern variations in gravitational fields over the range in which it travels and utilize this for navigation. Now I’m not a marine biologist myself, so I don’t know if my postulation above is probable, I’m just saying it’s possible. Our observations of physics in the universe are always influenced by the frame of reference from which we view it. Just as Newton’s equations fall apart in the presence of extreme gravity and Einstein’s theories can’t maintain when we get to the quantum scale, it’s all relative. :-)

Buoyancy would not necessarily negate an ability for a whale to “feel” gravity and to use it to navigate. Sub Mariners feel gravity even when they are inside a neutrally buoyant craft - a submarine. Perhaps whales have internals that can feel and interpret gravity in some way.

I love Neil, Chuck, and StarTalk. This may be the most awkward “discussion” ever. The guests are very invested and are giving factual and enthusiastic answers. Meanwhile Chuck and even Neil are just cracking jokes. Literally the whole time. Especially that mermaid comment at the end. - You could tell that made her uncomfortable. It made me uncomfortable. Could you imagine if someone who probably consider a hero and worlds best scientist said that to you. These individuals have dedicated their life to this study. I’m no SJW and everyone is free to act/say as they please, but I literally don’t know what to say here. At least respect the guests and their work.

This is something that actually bothers me in many of their videos. They're both sooo bright, but seem to sometimes get sort of lost between presentations of the wondrous science and fascinating information, and the desire to "entertain".

@MorpheusOne

2 жыл бұрын

@Jake & Judy: I agree. The need to `entertain`, in some episodes of Star Talk, is so over-the-top that it is absolutely gratuitous and obnoxious; it is actually a main reason why I am not a subscriber. Something that irritated me immensely, though, in this interview takes place at the end, of this episode, when Michelle Fournet said that their intention is to not have a conversation with animals, such as whales; it is their intention to study animals in their natural environment, deciphering their language while never allowing the animals to know that they are there. Well, I don't know that whales are, necessarily, cognitive & freethinking, sentient, beings; but, even if they aren't, & certainly if they are, they are, it's pretty obvious, nonetheless certainly aware of our existence by the very reality that human beings have been polluting the environment, on an industrial scale, for about 300 years...& to a lesser degree for a lot longer! (The Industrial Revolution began in Europe in, approximately, the year 1730.) Humans have actually been polluting the environment for thousands of years; they have only been doing it on such a widespread systematic scale, at an industrial level, for only about three centuries. To clarify, some people say that dogs are cognitive & freethinking, sentient, beings; others say that only certain breeds of dogs. Some people say this about cats, too. Well, whether they are or are not, dogs & cats know that by licking our faces in the mornings as we are asleep, barking/meowing at us & waking us up, that we will feed them, that we will take them/let them go outside, to go to the bathroom, to meet their friends, get some exercise, chase a ball, etc. So, they know that we are there whether or not they are cognitive, freethinking & sentient! Trying to hide ourselves from their gaze only serves to waste time as we foolishly tell ourselves that we are doing something for some _`greater good`,_ when we are expressing a willful ignorance about what we are, and have been, actually doing. And Neil brought Star Trek's _`Prime Directive`,_ which Michelle Fournet agreed with, which, of course, only serves to justify and further increase that willful ignorance. The episode was basically over when they brought up this idea of communicating with animals & maybe there just wasn't enough time to refute the ridiculousness that we should not be communicating with them. But, it was such a dumb thing to say... And they generally do not revisit topics of discussion in later episodes, no matter how foolish & ignorant some statement that someone made was. That's another reason that I am not a subscriber...

"Talking to other species?" Yes, that does always make me chuckle a a bit since we still have trouble talking to each other as humans - even after thousands of years... 😶

Great episode. Terrible that its only viewable on Apple whatever. Any way to just rent or purchase the movie without getting Appled?

When you all contemplated animals communicating in water, you concluded sound is the most viable strategy. Yet the Elephant fish have complex and communicative conversations with each other via electro waves, we have studies of this. I was hoping someone would have brought this up, but if you havn’t looked into it. It is VERY interesting

Would you please explain the Diepold Repeller and the Stavely Attractor?

Chuck is so funny.

It could be the sound whales produce are either to locate food, and/or to detect magnetic field interference/strength to navigate, or to find a mate. The higher and lower pitches could be relative to distances they desire to throw their voices. It makes sense that whales can detect eachothers mass/pressure each produces just like whales are attracted to ships, perceiving them as other whales, but recognise the distinct difference between the sound of a ships engines compared to that a whale naturally produces, perhaps drawn to the magnetic field or resonance rather than the pressure of the water displacement.

Took the entire episode for Niel and Chuck to realize they aren't talking to the whales, just listening. XD

My favourite is trees using fungus too talk.

Brilliant and beautiful, everyone knows what I mean....

Bring back the office setting. I like it better when they're in Neil's office.

I think a large part of whale song is the same as bird song. I sing, therefore I am. Birds have been anthropomorphized as singing because they are happy, and maybe whales do some of that (The Whale Who Wanted To Sing at the Met, in Make Mine Music), but birds are really establishing territory and attracting mates. Mocking birds go so far as to imitate the territorial songs of other species to further isolate their own territory. I wonder if some of these shared whale sounds are made for mocking bird reasons, and if the humpback heavy metal sounds are territorial.

Cardi Bee !!! Cracked me up :)

I wonder if animals find satisfaction in patterns in their unique senses like the way we like music or art
