Tom Mustill was nearly killed by a breaching whale, which landed on his canoe. Mid air, perhaps on sighting 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…
