Fancy a nuclear power station in your backyard?

There's nothing like a bit of competition to get things moving, let's hope this particular race heats up as quickly as possible.

If whales can communicate by telepathy, why can't humans?

Joce

Ummm...whales can't communicate by telepathy.

The article starts out with a false assumption then spends the rest of the page extrapolating it into outer space.

Whales can indeed communicate over hundreds of miles, they use sound to do it.

Sound isn't in any way "extra-sensory". Sound is a very ordinary sense that humans also have. We call it "hearing".

With a bit of extra research he'd have seen that humans can also communicate via sound waves.
