Forlorn 被遗弃的，绝望的，孤独的
Having to roam the world in search of company constantly calling out for a mate but never getting an answer sounds terrifying and sad which is why so many around the world empathize with ’52’ the loneliest whale in the world.

The solitary whale named after the distinctive 52 hertz frequency of its call belongs to an unknown unidentified species. The sound it produces is just above the lowest note on a tuba – clearly that of a whale but one that no other whale in the world shares or recognizes. So it roams the world’s largest ocean year after year desperately calling out for a mate but never finding one.

Interestingly 52 has never actually been seen; only its forlorn love songs have been picked up by navy sonar detectors but never accompanied by another whale call. This phenomenon is so intriguing that scientists have closely been monitoring the frequency since it was first detected by William Watkins of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 1989. He happened to be studying the mating calls of male whales in the North Pacific when he came across the anomaly of 52.

Since then the US Navy’s sophisticated billion-dollar hydrophone system designed to track Soviet nuclear submarines during the Cold War have recorded 52’s migratory patterns every single year as he moves from central California to the Aleutian Islands in the north Pacific. 52 has always travelled solo and according to a report in the Deep Sea Journal its migration is “unrelated to the presence or movement of other whale species.”

Experts figure that 52’s sonic signature although deep to humans is very high-pitched compared to the normal call of the giant blue whale the fin or any other species of whale. Some believe this is because the giant mammal might have a physical deformity while others think it could be a hybrid of a blue whale and other species.

Mary Ann Daher a marine biologist who has spent years eavesdropping on the hidden lives of whales co-authored the original research on the discovery of 52. As the paper went public more and more people began to identify with the whale’s hopeless situation so much so that they even wrote to Daher expressing their empathy.

“It’s very sad that so many people identify with this whale” she said in a 2013 interview. “I receive letters emails and poems – mostly from women – and it’s heartbreaking to read some of the things they say. They identify with this animal who doesn’t seem to fit in anywhere doesn’t make friends easily feels alone and feels different from everybody.”

Zeman accepts that all this sounds like anthropomorphizing something that scientists like Daher are completely against. Daher says that the romantic angle to 52’s lonesome sojourns is entirely a human construction – there’s no way for scientists to really know what’s going on in the mind of a whale. “We don’t know if he’s lonely” she said. “The supposed emotional yearnings of 52 Hertz say much more about the humans who hear his story than it does about the whale himself.”

But research also shows that whales are social creatures and some whale songs can travel 3000 miles across the ocean with the sole purpose of communicating. And most people like Zeman choose to focus on this aspect. “Being lonely or calling out and never being heard is one of our greatest fears as human beings” he said. “We are completely social beings. … Whales are the same. They have spindle cells which allow them to love hate be part of certain (social) circles. … Imagine a being out there that could even feel love acceptance (and) pain in ways we can’t even comprehend?”

Last year Josh Zeman teamed up with ‘Entourage’ star Adrian Grenier for a Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund a 20-day expedition to find 52. Their goal was $300000 but the heartbreaking story of the world’s loneliest whale apparently struck a chord with a lot of people as they managed to exceed that goal by over $100000. If they managed to track 52 down they’ll be able to tag it with audio-sensing equipment allowing scientists to study it in detail.

放任心思 无限的飘
载著我快乐妄想
翻过重山 掠过海洋
我世界没有框框
多少爱情 行色迷乱
看的我一脸仓惶
真情没入 庸扰人海
心消耗 伤怀却不断
谁与我远远的漫步云端
在靠近太阳的地方住下
能掩耳不听那俗事喧嚣
要一种真正的自由自在
愿与你远远的漫步云端
美丽穹苍为我们铺展
别让心房沾惹尘埃
要一种乾净的相爱
多少爱情 行色迷乱
看的我一脸仓惶
真情没入 庸扰人海
心消耗 伤怀却不断
谁与我远远的漫步云端
在靠近太阳的地方住下
能掩耳不听那俗事喧嚣
要一种真正的自由自在
愿与你远远的漫步云端
美丽穹苍为我们铺展
别让心房沾惹尘埃
要一种乾净的相爱
放任心思 无限的飘
载著我快乐妄想
翻过重山 掠过海洋
我世界没有框框
