    There was a sci-fi short story where someone in a government on another planet noticed that the Universe was protecting itself from paradoxes by causing disasters whenever someone tried to build a Time Machine using the Tipler Cylinder method. So they started talking with their leader about trying to lure their enemies to start such a project, with the anticipation that something will wipe them out.

      Each species does have their own language. But even if you expose pigeons to enough english, they'll start to understand what you're saying. Animals also make interspecies small talk, like my neighbor's dogs will frequently ask what I'm doing when I'm taking trash or recycling out. Pigeons do nearly constantly ask for food and water, but they also answer questions on what it's like to be a pigeon.

      You're overlooking the fact that nobody will believe anyone in the present day claiming to be a time traveller from the future: the default assumption will be that the time traveller is in fact a loony.
      It's the same kind of thing as when Hawking claimed that his time traveller party was proof that time travel was impossible: it's just as plausible that no one turned up because they knew it would be a boring, shitty party.

    Hehe... the bit about talking to animals reminds me of a LARPer comic in which, when the shaman roleplayer casts a spell to talk to animals, the 3 wolf roleplayers just say, "food? food?" "walk! walk!" and "play! play!" I'm sure it was nothing like how the game was supposed to go, but it was the funniest strip in the entire comic! 🤣
    On a more serious note, I can understand that we'd need to perceive the world as animals do to communicate with them. I've kind-of instinctually understood this for most of my life, but I make no claim that I was ever much good at it. To begin to see the world through a cat's eyes is possible with considerable observation, but you won't get all of what a cat is thinking without much deeper research.
    I'm very doubtful that one translator could be made for all cats.

    I think that the meanings you get from translating animal speech would be super surface level, like "excited", "afraid", or "hungry", with more complex speech being along the lines of "I am lonely and looking for company" or even the ambiguity of not knowing what the animal is trying to refer to, like "I want [some specific concept of a person] to [some related concept of give and feed] me [some specific kind of food item]", there is even the scenario where each distinct "word" has several unrelated meanings that rely entirely on the current state of mind that the animal is in and can still have significant ambiguity

    In regards to animal translation. I once owned chickens and one of them had 10 chicks. I counted the mother chook giving 4 different calls she gave her young. 1. 'heads up' kind of warning. 2. Full blown warning 'take cover'. 3. Its okay to eat that. 4. Run and follow me now! I once imitated call #1 and all the chicks froze and looked around. It only worked once and never again would they listen to me. The #3 always intrigued me. They loved crushed grain and would crowd around my hand but never eat it until the mother had cocked her head over them, looked at what was in my hand and gave a sound and then it was a shark frenzy. What amazes me was that they were born with this inherent understanding of her calls, from the moment they hatched.

    A lot of the data in this episode is out of date or rudimentary. Especially in the weather control and animal communication area. Saudi Arabia pretty regularly uses cloud seeding technology. We know HOW to create weather. But like a lot of things, it takes so much power to generate that the payoff is not worth it.
    We are MUCH closer to understanding communication of animals like Whales, Elephants, Dolphins, and apes. People have been teaching apes sign language for YEARS now. Even so far as to have Apes teaching their offspring sign language to talk to handlers and coming up with their own signs. And we can tell whale pods apart by their "accent" of certain common whale songs. With ai, I would bet we are within a decade before we can communicate with certain high level animals. The issue is that even high level animals will not communicate on a level equivalent to human. Imagine a scientist meeting a 5 year old who speaks a different language. They can tell you what they like or what they want and we can tell them things on the same level.

    Trying to translate the language of a lower-order animal would be pointless because the vocalizations of animals are not speech. They're not speaking a language capable of communicating complex information and abstract concepts in the same way human speech does. The only other creature on Earth which it might be possible to translate their vocalizations is the dolphin. It's been determined that the various clicks, buzzes, whistles, and varied other sounds they make are structured in the same way a human vocabulary is. However, a dog barking is in no way analogous to a human speaking.

    if we can think of it, it most likely is not impossible. we are just too primitive for it. The moment you have infinity in it, is the moment you have insufficient knowledge.
    TimeTravel: Yhea, this one is going to be out of humanities reach. The main reason being that for time travel to happen, we need to understand the fundamentals behind quantum and subquantum partickles...basically, scales so small it is very difficult to imagine, even less so to measure.
    Weather control: Yhea, local weather. But climate control is definitely possible. We are doing it all the time by dumping thousands of tons of excess greenhouse gases into the air. production and excess production alone causes more air pollution and bigger climate change than whatever we can do.
    Perpetual Motion machine: we may have to rethink the theory of perpetual motion to low resistance motion loop. That is possible, but it would need very high initial energy and very low resistance. Again, we lack knowledge for that.
    Talking with animals/UNderstanding animals: Thing is, we have enough empathy to be able to understand animals. But, this needs innate living with animals and living with nature. we are moving away from that, as such, any possibility to understand animals is falling further and further. Soon we won't have animals to understand because we would have trained them to behave accxording to our technological thinking.

    Last I heard, Information theory when used listening to dolphin communication did find that there was information being transmitted from dolphins to each other suggesting there was a language that could be decoded. We obviously don’t know how to decode it, but it’s a cryptographic challenge at that point seemingly vs an impossible task because they’re just grunting at each other and not actually “saying” anything to each other, which is something closer to what we believe many other animal species are doing when they bark or meow or whatever. There is no actual information being communicated, ie they are not speaking a language, they are just grunting and communicating tonally or through body language like a baby. A baby communicates desires and feelings but does not speak words.
