1
Before we named the stars, before we mapped the atom, we asked ourselves an impossible question.
2
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
3
For the first time in human history, there's finally an answer.
4
We at Colossal have solved it.
5
Introducing the colossal artificial egg.
6
It all begins with the chicken egg.
7
We didn't want to just reimagine the egg, we wanted to completely re-engineer it.
8
We are looking toward a future where we need breakthrough technologies.
9
We need different solutions, new solutions.
10
How do we replicate nature but also improve upon it?
11
Imagine a world where we actually have hundreds or thousands of eggs or eventually artificial wounds in laboratories growing critically endangered species.
12
This is the stepping stones that artificial wound will be built on.
13
This device changes everything.
14
Everything.
15
Now showing the world that we can actually grow this whole bird now in an incubator outside of an eggshell.
16
Complete game changer.
17
Unlocks massive potential.
18
I am looking at the world changing and I'm holding it in my hands.
19
I think that this is really a big step for science this whole, honestly.
20
Hold on to your chickens.
21
This is the Colossal Artificial Egg.
22
Life fired away.
23
The Colossal Chicken and Egg story starts right here.
24
Welcome to the Colossal Avian Facility.
25
Every day is an egg hunt, and the birds are happy and healthy.
26
We collect the eggs right after they've been laid, so we can bring them to the lab.
27
And then our embryology team takes over.
28
They thoroughly examine each egg.
29
Check that we have a fertilized viable egg.
30
And select those that look most likely to hatch into a beautiful little bird.
31
So once we have that egg, then we have to crack it open very, very gently to put it into the artificial egg.
32
That stage there is very critical.
33
You do it delicately, smoothly.
34
It's really, really difficult to compete with evolution.
35
To design a way to grow an embryo without
36
that eggshell is a really big engineering and biology hurdle that we had to get across.
37
It is the first time that the core engineering problem of artificial eggs has been solved.
38
As we developed the design, we began with a natural egg.
39
So the colossal artificial egg is a world's first in terms of the design level and sophistication.
40
The first major structure is a rigid outer shell.
41
The shell provides the protection, rigidity.
42
It took us over 14 iterations to find the perfect shell.
43
Hexagons are the best of guns.
44
Really great at being efficient and giving structure, but also the gas exchange.
45
Our permeable membrane allows oxygen to diffuse into the system through the membrane at ambient temperatures.
46
It's got a really big window on the top
47
that you can actually really look at and see
48
and understand exactly what is happening to that embryo real-time visibility into every stage of embryonic development.
49
This is a real breakthrough.
50
It enables us to also manipulate bird development in very predictable ways.
51
You will place them in our incubator.
52
Every day you're going in, you're either doing a quick checkup or you're doing a full checkup.
53
You can see the eyes developing, the shape of the body.
54
You can start to see a heartbeat.
55
What makes avian reproductive biology difficult is that developing chicken has to get everything that it needs from the egg.
56
We sprinkle in the nutrient that helps the embryos continue to develop.
57
18 days later, that's about day 21 of a regular egg.
58
It starts to do those regular behaviors that a chicken would do when it starts to hatch, and we call that pippi.
59
And that's when it actually starts to tap against the artificial egg to tell us that it's ready to hatch.
60
And now it wants to start moving.
61
It knows it needs to go and fight to get air.
62
When I heard the chick that came out of the artificial egg went through my mind, this is amazing, and how do I get to live this life?
63
It's like feeling every human emotion simultaneously, and you want to jump up and down and scream for joy, but you also want to protect it and bubble wrap it all at the same time.
64
It wants to get up, it wants to explore, visually processing its world, but then it also needs a lot of naps, and we always call it the power down phase.
65
Ooh.
66
So then it's up again and it wants to see.
67
It's that moment where I realize that I'm holding the very first thing that all these people
68
worked so hard for and I'm the very blessed one that gets to be there for the creation of it.
69
It's amazing.
70
It's absolutely amazing.
71
It's beautiful.
72
It is a beautiful thing.
73
So post hatching once the birds emerge from the artificial egg my team's focused on all their care and development.
74
We start every project and we finish every project every project.
75
As they hatch in groups we bunch them up
76
and then we go ahead and we put them with their buddies
77
and then we move them to a bigger brooder and then they're going to go to a graduation pen, more outside, see the sun, see the grass and then they'll go to the eventual large farm.
78
We're responsible for everything about their lives.
79
We want them to both be healthy physically but also mentally.
80
You're the person that has to watch for all their welfare
81
and really make sure you're putting that animal first because it's a living being and it deserves that.
82
Colossal's artificial egg project is fundamental to the success of our MOA de-extinction project.
83
There's no current bird that can actually take a South Island giant MOA egg to term.
84
They're just not large enough.
85
A size of bird that doesn't exist on the planet anymore.
86
It's huge.
87
They were up three meters, three and a half meters.
88
We need this artificial egg to be able to bring a species of that size back into reality.
89
My entire life I was told that the MOA was extinct, but we're now at the point where being extinct isn't really the end of the story.
90
We can really start to understand so much more about the way that birds develop and grow.
91
Colossal's artificial egg project to me is another example of the way
92
that the work we're doing here at Colossal has the potential to change the way we do biodiversity conservation.
93
Being able to share this milestone for the world makes me incredibly proud that we're delivering on our promises.
94
It is also the first of many exogenous development technologies coming from Colossal.
95
This is just the beginning.
96
And that is the colossal chicken and egg story.
97
Now, for the first time ever, you're about to witness the creation of life inside the colossal artificial egg.
98
Here it is.
99
Here it is.
100
Here it is.
101
Here it is.
102
Here it is.
103
Here it is.
104
Here it is.
105
Here it is.
106
Here it is.
107
Wait till you see what's next.

このビデオは誰に向いているのか？
英語スピーキング練習を始めたばかりの中級者や、科学系の専門用語や論理的な話し方を磨きたい人に最適です。ビデオでは新技術について説明する際の構造や、驚きを表す表現が豊富で、シャドーイングの素材としても理想的です。特に「科学的な発見を伝える」場面での発音やイントネーションを学びたい方におすすめです。
覚えておきたい単語とイディオム
- re-engineer：再設計する。「単に卵を再想像するのではなく、完全に再設計したい」という文脈で使われ、技術的な取り組みを表します。
- game changer：ゲームチェンジャー。「この装置はすべてを変える」という意味で、画期的な発明を形容します。
- stepping stones：足がかり。「絶滅危惧種を育てるための足がかりになる」として、段階的な進歩を表します。
- Hold on to your chickens：驚かないでください。「ニワトリを抱きしめておいて」というイディオムで、重要な発表の前に使われ、緊張感を伝えます。
アクセントを正しくするコツ
このビデオのスピーカーは、重要な用語や感情を強調するためにイントネーションを上げる傾向があります。例えば「completely re-engineer」「massive potential」のように、強調したい単語を高い声で発音します。シャドーイングをする際は、これらの強調部分を真似ることで、英語のリズムを自然に身につけることができます。また、「diffuse into the system」のような語句では、母音の長さを正確に再現することが重要で、これが発音の自然さに大きく影響します。shadowing siteやshadow speechの練習では、繰り返し聴きながら口の形や息の使い方を確認してみてください。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
