As a scientist, I'm trained to recognize intelligence through objective measures... tool use, cognitive processes, and so on. As a human being, when I see a dolphin looking at me and his eyes tracking me and I lock eyes with that animal, there's a human response that makes it undeniable that I'm connecting with an intelligent being.

As a scientist,
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.792
I'm trained to recognize intelligence
through objective measures--
00:00:06.875 --> 00:00:08.667
tool use, cognitive processes,
and so on.
00:00:08.708 --> 00:00:10.000
As a human being,
00:00:10.042 --> 00:00:14.005
when I see a dolphin looking at me
and his eyes tracking me
00:00:14.583 --> 00:00:17.125
and I lock eyes with that animal,
00:00:17.208 --> 00:00:19.542
there's a human response
that makes it undeniable
00:00:19.583 --> 00:00:22.167
that I'm connecting
with an intelligent being.
00:00:24.005 --> 00:00:28.000
Science has been tantalized for years
at the prospect of talking
00:00:28.002 --> 00:00:30.998
to the most intelligent
creatures on earth,
00:00:30.167 --> 00:00:31.583
which may not be human beings.
00:00:31.667 --> 00:00:33.002
A small group of scientists
00:00:33.125 --> 00:00:35.458
determined to see
if humans and dolphins
00:00:35.542 --> 00:00:37.998
can learn to talk to each other.
00:00:37.167 --> 00:00:41.958
We keep spending billions of dollars
for sending signals up into the sky,
00:00:42.002 --> 00:00:43.458
and we have a species here
00:00:43.542 --> 00:00:47.292
that can conceivably be
more intelligent than we are.
00:00:56.167 --> 00:00:59.208
Dolphins can understand
how to manipulate situations,
00:00:59.292 --> 00:01:00.667
how to relate to people,
00:01:00.708 --> 00:01:05.333
how to create innovatively
out of their own imagination.
00:01:05.375 --> 00:01:06.708
It sometimes amazes me
