Are dolphins smarter than humans

Answer 1

Dolphin brains and Human brains are similar in size,

but somewhat different in structure. Human brains appear to be composed of two mirror-symmetric dissimilar hemispheres. Dolphin brains appear to be composed of two similar sub-brains, each of which has two hemispheres, so Dolphins might be said to have 4-lobed brains that might be used to experience Many-Worlds.

Dolphins may need to have 2 brains because the maximum size for a single brain may be about 10^11 neurons, the size of the brain of single-brained humans.

According to Carol J. Howard, author of Dolphin Chronicles (Bantam 1996), each of the two Dolphin sub-brains has an independent blood supply. Dolphins never sleep with both brains at once. One brain sleeps while the other brain stay awake (perhaps so that the Dolphins can breathe while asleep). Dolphin sleep appears to be different from Human sleep in another way: the brain waves of sleeping Dolphins have no state that corresponds to the rapid eye-movementneocortex is slightly smaller than the mass of the Human neocortex. Dolphin brain cells are more uniform and less specialized than Human brain cells Dolphins are born with about 40 percent of their brain mass, and reach full brain development in about 10 years, while Humans are born with about 25 percent of their brain mass, and reach full brain development in about 18 years. The two eyes of the Dolphin are each connected to one of the two sub-brains. The Dolphin brain area for visual imaging is only about one-tenth that of the Human brain, while the Dolphin brain area for acoustical imaging is about 10 times that of the Human brain. Dolphins not only have two sub-brains, but they also have two sets of sound-pruducing organs, including two "tongues" on each side of their blow-hole.Dolphin blow hole is the melon, a lens of fatty tissue corresponding to the Human upper lip. The melon may act as a lens to focus sound, or to send or receive ultra low frequency sound waves. REM sleep of dreaming Humans. Dolphin brains are more convoluted than Human brains, but the cortex of Dolphin brains is thinner than the Human cortex, so that the total mass of the Dolphin Therefore, Dolphins can produce two independent sounds, from their right and left sides. They can use interference to focus sounds and to produce harmonic interference effects. Two Dolphins speaking can sound like four. In front of the

According to a 1 February 2001 article in the Electronic London Telegraph by Robert Uhlig: "... New Scientist reports ... Dolphins use sound booms and clicks to stun and kill their prey ... In one study Ken Marten of Earthtrust, a conservation group in Hawaii, recorded a dolphin emitting a sequence of low-frequency "bangs" while pursuing a fish. ... Denise Herzing, of Florida Atlantic University, recorded wild Atlantic spotted dolphins emitting a medium-frequency buzz while searching for prey on the seabed. She said buried eels jumped out of the sand, and either stopped or moved sluggishly as if stunned, giving the dolphin time to catch them. ...". Dolphins can create air bubble rings and helices in water. The ring looks like a Ring Singularity within a Compton Radius Vortex. Dolphins may be able to use focussed sound to produce cavitation. Cavitation in water could produce sonoluminescence which can produce cold fusion and thus oceanic nuclear energy. Cavitation in biological tissue could produce sono-chemistry, sonochemical changes at cellular boundaries in living tissue, that may explain some chemical and electrical changes that have been observed in Human brains after contact with Dolphins. AquaThought Foundation and David Cole have found that after Humans been in contact with Dolphins, the dominant Human brain frequency drops from beta to alpha, closer to the frequency of the Schumann resonanaces of Earth, and the hemispheres of the Human brain become synchronized, in that brainwaves of the left and right hemispheres are in phase and of similar frequency.

Dolphin and Human Brains may contain BioMagnetite that could give them an electromagnetic sense that could provide a link between Brains and many types of electromagnetic phenomena, including but not limited to Schumann Resonance Phenomena.

John Lilly has experimented with Dolphin-Human interactions, with some interesting results. He reports that when he was in a water tank and some Dolphins were in another tank only connected by sound speakers, the Dolphins surrounded him with a sonic space, and then produced a trill that systematically resonated with different parts of his body from head to toe.

That supports the idea that Dolphins may see things by ultrasound sonar imaging. As with Human medical sonograms, Dolphin sonar vision may be able to see interior organs and structures. It may even be that Dolphins could hear a snowflake landing on the ocean surface.

John Lilly also reported that on one occation he mentally asked questions of Dolphins, who appeared to him to respond by linking him with a dolphin group-mind, which, in turn, linked him to a larger Cetacean group-mind.

In assessing the reports of John Lilly, it should be noted that in such experiments he sometimes used mind-altering drugs, but that does not necessarily invalidate his interesting results and ideas about Dolphin consciousness.

The larger Dolphins have larger brains than Humans, but Dolphins, up to and including Killer Whales Orcinus orca, and Humans all have brain/body mass ratios lying near a straight line on a log/log plot. The Killer Whale brain size is close to the maximum size for all Earth Mammals, no matter what their body size.

Human visual sense is passive.

Dolphin sonar sense is active.

Perhaps Dolphins are better than Humans at actively interacting with the spaces beyond our immediately perceived physical universe. Dolphins may be mental/spiritual beings, with each sub-brain acting as a quantum computer, and both of them together interacting, through interference, to give a perspective Dolphin vision of the Many-Worlds, by acting like a device designed by Andrew Gray.

Answer 2

Well you don't see them driving cars now do you? It's pretty much based on your own opinion of if they are. I mean, yea there's some people that dolphins are definitely much smarter than. But I'll leave it up to you to decide who. :P
