Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.89,0:01:12.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,off of the coast of Monterey.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.16,0:01:17.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What they thought they came upon was a cliff jutting out from an ocean canyon.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.69,0:01:21.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They took off a chunk of it and brought it back into the lab.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.73,0:01:27.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they saw that it actually was a whale bone,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.23,0:01:29.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that there were all these plummy forms coming out of it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.92,0:01:32.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as they looked at these plummy forms they saw they were a new worm

Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.33,0:01:51.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then it turns out to be something completely different.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.19,0:02:01.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,quite often repeats in science fiction.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.13,0:02:06.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For me, the protocols of science fiction
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.89,0:02:09.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the protocols of science are not separate--

Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.55,0:02:30.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So all those secret passages you hear about
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.92,0:02:32.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,between the Atlantic and the Pacific...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.63,0:02:35.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All of these routes then become lost.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.48,0:02:40.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I thought that the osedax worm
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.47,0:02:44.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inscribes these systems of travel into the bone.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.64,0:02:49.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's a paper box inscribed on both sides

Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.48,0:03:12.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so this paper bird swims through this--literally--
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.91,0:03:16.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,through what's a blob of ink is now a tunnel.
