Analysis and translation of the alien language using the Wolfram Language

And what if the aliens really want to visit the Earth? Will world leaders contribute to learning their language? When Denis Villeneuve began working on the sci-fi film “ Arrival ”, he and his team had to turn to real scientists Steven and Christopher Wolfram in order to present true science on the big screen. Christopher was tasked with analyzing and writing code for a fictional non-linear, visual language. On January 31, he demonstrated the language development process in broadcasting on LiveEdu.tv ( video ).



Many scientists and viewers of the movie “Arrival” became interested in what happened behind the scenes in the process of developing the alien language, after which SlashFilm.com decided to remove “ Science vs. Cinema: Arrival ”featuring Wolfram, Jeremy Renner, Amy Adams and other scientists. Wired also interviewed Christopher Wolfram on the Wolfram language and his connection to the visualizations that were featured in the film. Wolfram Research has a considerable track record with contributions to the film industry. Starting from puzzles on the television show NUMB3RS and ending with space technology in Interstellar.

Science and technology are introduced into the modern world more than ever. The popularity of science fiction cinema is growing and every day we see more and more such films. If filmmakers like Denis Villeneuve recognize the importance of science in the film industry, science fiction will live. As Arthur Clark said: “science fiction is an escape into reality, it is an interest in our origins and our future”.
