Comments on Universal Translator, Babelfish Possible
The idea of a real-life universal translator is usually applied to a human language translator. But what about translating actual alien communication? (Read
the complete story)
| "Isn't that like saying that aliens will experience the same world we do? If its all about referencing an objectively definable world - isn't that a huge leap to make? These are the same people who argue animals have no language - yet they communicate... translate that alien first please!

Thank you very much 8). Hasna." (Hasna 9/3/2009 3:57:40 AM) |
