    The Language of Our Seas

    The Language of Our Seas

    Tom Mustil was nearly killed by a breaching whale, which landed on his canoe. Mid air, perhaps on siting Tom, the whale tilted, possibly to miss him. It then re-emerged and looked at him - as if to check if he was ok. 
    He became obsessed with trying to find out what the whale had been thinking.  And so began an exploration into whale communication – what do they say and sing to each other? And can AI help us decode it? What would it mean if we were to make contact?  Come with us on a journey under the sea…
     
    You can find Tom’s book “how to speak whale” on his website: www.tommustil.com.
