In one of the New York museums, American scientists presented forty photographs taken from a computer screen. They reflected the gradual transformation of man into a dolphin. It is under hypothetical conditions if people would completely move to live in the Ocean. Moreover, information about dolphins was not put into the computer. The machine had no idea about their existence. The result of the calculations was stunning. The computer with all its processors gave out not only the appearance of the "aristocrats of the sea", but also their physiological characteristics
Seeing a dolphin in the sea is considered a very good sign. To communicate with them closer is incredible happiness. These glorious creatures with clever eyes will say something in return. And they can speak. Scientists have found this out, putting forward a version that dolphins communicate in their own language. There is an assumption that many years ago we spoke the same way as these cute mammals. It's just that our speech later evolved, but their speech remained at the same level. Can we return to the former understanding?
People who spend a lot of time with dolphins say that they sing songs about famous events, fish, and everyone they met, rescued or accompanied. And their constant chirping is very pleasant to the ear.
Interestingly, in a similar way, sea intellectuals are able to communicate with various types of sea creatures. Moreover, dolphins can also make quiet sounds. But only a small percentage of the world's population has the ability to hear them. In the meantime, basic communication between a dolphin and a person takes place with the help of hand signals and sign language. Although, the trainers of these smiling creatures argue that sometimes even this is not required. Because mammals understand exactly what they hear.
Working with humans is generally fun for dolphins. And they always strive to help us in everything. They often provide an escort for ships by jumping and playing alongside. Another interesting feature of these creatures is that they live for the present and do not let sad memories ruin life. They keep their own stories, but they see no reason to let history collide with the present. Oh, these sea inhabitants could tell a lot …
Intelligence surprised scientists
Well, scientists have been trying for a long time to decipher the incomprehensible language of dolphins. And a linguist from Harvard University, George Zipf, developed his own way of doing this. He counted how many times different letters appear in a typical English text. Indeed, in a meaningful text several identical signs cannot stand in a row, they occur with some frequency. The luminaries then plotted the frequencies of the letters in a specific order and on a logarithmic scale. The result is an oblique line with a slope of -1. For texts in other languages, the slope was the same. An absolutely random set of letters, which does not carry any information, is located horizontally on the chart, without any tilt. That is, any gibberish that has passed through a sieve of mathematical formulas,on such a graph will show zero result. Thus, scientists studied dolphin whistling using the Zipf method, and obtained the same slope coefficient as that of human languages. That is - carrying information!
"So, dolphins are close to us in intelligence," the scientists concluded. Now the point is to understand what these "whistlers" want to tell us?

Researcher of the Laboratory of Bioacoustics Vladislav TARCHEVSKAYA, for many years has been dealing with the problem of sound communication of dolphins:
Everyone has their own name
There is a legend that dolphins are reincarnated people who previously inhabited Atlantis, which disappeared under the waters of the ocean. Sounds pretty.
And also, there is a version that dolphins, like humans, have names that they call each other.

Aliens from outer space live in the sea
In one of the New York museums, American scientists presented forty photographs taken from a computer screen. They reflected the gradual transformation of man into a dolphin. It is under hypothetical conditions if people would completely move to live in the Ocean. Moreover, information about dolphins was not put into the computer. The machine had no idea about their existence. The result of the calculations was stunning. The computer with all its processors gave out not only the external appearance of the "aristocrats of the sea", but also their physiological
specifications! There is also other indirect evidence that dolphins are the closest relatives of modern humans. For example, a Chinese biologist has astounded the scientific world by claiming that dolphins are descendants of aliens from outer space. Here's an amendment: Professor Hsu Sensung has no doubt that some dolphins have higher IQs than humans. He also assures that he maintains telepathic contact with them. The professor's wards transmit signals to him. He perceives them as thoughts and images. From which he learned: the ancestors of dolphins flew to Earth on interstellar ships 100 thousand years ago. They were forced to leave their own planet due to dire environmental problems. However, on Earth, their technology turned out to be unusable,and centuries later, the civilization of stellar aliens fell into complete decline … Sometimes "gray ufonauts" paralyze a person at a distance … Someone will grin, thinking that these are just modern myths, fairy tales of people with heightened unbridled imagination. But let's not rush to "draw the line". What is now being discovered by modern science in the field of dolphinology, completely overlaps the most incredible fantasies and legends about the life of toothed cetaceans.
One of the latest hypotheses was put forward by the Kennedy Space Center astronomer Simon Clark. In his opinion, dolphins are the indigenous inhabitants of one of Jupiter's moons. "Forget about the" little green men "- the most intelligent creatures after humans in
our solar system can be dolphins, - said the scientist.
The fact is that when the Galileo space station launched by NASA a few years ago flew only 400 kilometers from Jupiter's moon Europa, its sensitive radio detectors recorded some movement under the ice in the ocean. Sound sensors picked
up a whistle coming directly from under the ice. Then a directive from the highest echelons of power obliged NASA to classify all data on the Galileo program. Therefore, the details of the discovery became known only recently.
“After these facts were transmitted to Earth and subjected to rigorous computer analysis,” Clarke said, “the scientists were amazed. The audiograph showed that the frequency of sounds emanating from the ocean of Europa was identical to the sounds made by terrestrial dolphins!
The probability of error is 0.001 percent.
Although at the moment it is impossible to say what kind of creatures "talk" in the oceans of Europe, scientists hypothesize that organisms similar to our earthly dolphins live on the distant satellite of Jupiter

There is debate about the origin of cute cetaceans, various hypotheses are being discussed, but the mystery of the dolphin's pedigree has not yet been solved. In any case, scientists are not yet able to say anything worthwhile about their origin. The boundless distance of time for us remains an intriguing and, alas, an unsolved mystery.
