Imagine sitting at a restaurant ordering food. What if you could communicate by projecting a holographic image of the meal you wanted to the waiter and them completely understanding and delivering? Dolphins and cetaceans (killer whales) can do this. Because cetaceans and dolphins have special anatomy for sound creation and reception in their brains, scientist are beginning to hypothesize these creatures capable of sonar holographic imaging of their ideas to each other.

Michigan State University (MSU) believes “a dolphin wishing to convey the image of a fish to another dolphin can literally send the image of a fish to the other animal.” MSU did research comparing cetaceans and primates brains resulting in this surprising discovery. Cetaceans and dolphins communicate and sense the world with sound. We humans have to primarily see the world to sense it and use sound to communicate out ideas. Think about lightening and thunder, it’s easy to miss the flash from a bolt of lightening and hard to miss the thunder. Dolphins and cetaceans receive 20 times more information with hearing than the average person because of their advanced cerebral cortex and their pimped-out Broca’s & Wernicke’s areas of the brain.

Imagine what life could be if our thoughts were projectable (I could have said that straight to your mind and avoided writing this entirely if it were so), what would 3D printing look like? iPhones? Engineering? Painting? Sports? Politics? The sky would be no limit to our creativity and could change the tide of human evolution.

I hope these discoveries go mainstream and change the face of animal rights and ecological preservations to prevent the destruction of these mysteriously intelligent beings homes.
