According to the linguist Noam Chomsky, behind the different languages there is a deep unity, like a basic language, which is common to all people, and it is called "universal grammar". Is this language basically biological or spiritual?
 
Chomsky – normally called “the linguistic pope” and the director of Linguistics at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology – presented, in 1957, the new theory of language, according to which “we talk as we see”, proving that every language has some characteristics which are learned and some which are not.
 
Therefore, humanity is homogeneous in its basic linguistic expression, like it is biologically. The different populations do nothing but combine a limited number of sounds that express possible behaviours.
 
According to this theory, adults aren’t the ones who teach their children to talk: “children can talk, as they can see or as bird can fly”. The adult just leads the child into a certain language, in the picture of the “universal grammar”.
 
Chomsky asserts, without demonstrating, that the origin of language is in the genes we inherit from our parents. As a consequence of this, he admits that “there is no difficulty in translation that cannot be transposed among humans; quite the opposite, if our humanity met extraterrestrial beings, we would certainly not be able to understand them”.
 
Curiously, the theoretic physician Jean E. Charon – along with other colleagues from the Universities of Princeton and Passadena – considers that Man uses a non-verbal basic language – a radiation — , which allows him to communicate with other men, with animals or even with extraterrestrial beings.
At the end of the 70's, Charon formulated a complex theory, according to which “each electron moulds the space around it like a black hole”, which is itself a micro-universe isolated from outer-space. This electronic micro-universe seems to be constituted of “matter and radiation”, the last one being made up of “a kind of photon gas, possessing multiple speeds in every directions”.
 
Interaction among electrons is explained through the interchange of photons, that is, the electronic radiation, showing that an electron “is capable of interchanging this information at a distance with other electrons”.
 
So, the group of electrons that exists in the human body communicates with other electrons from other bodies, and this explains the relationship between Man and Nature. In this way Charon presents the possibility that Man has to communicate with other men without using common language as a means (by transmission of thought or telepathy). He believes in direct communication with other animals or with extraterrestrial beings.
 
Man, as well as other beings, is a permanent transmitter and a permanent receptor of radiations.
These theories are today the basis for several studies in different American and European universities. The results of the research in progress can deeply change existing concepts and even originate a change in human behaviour.
