We finally have an answer to biology's oldest riddle and it changes everything

[00:00:01]Before we named the stars, before we mapped the atom, we asked ourselves an impossible question.

[00:00:11]Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

[00:00:20]For the first time in human history, there's finally an answer. We at Colossal have solved it.

[00:00:30]Introducing the colossal artificial egg.

[00:00:38]What you are looking at isn't a scene from a sci-fi movie. It's a massive breakthrough in biology.

[00:00:45]Scientists at Colossal Biosciences have completely re-engineered nature by creating the world's first fully functional artificial egg. They delicately extract a fertilized embryo from a real chicken egg and transfer it into this custom-designed transparent habitat.

[00:01:03]>> Because the synthetic shell is clear, scientists get unprecedented realtime visibility into every single stage of the bird's development. After 21 days in an incubator, the chick starts to tap against the walls and hatches directly from this engineered shell, completely healthy and ready to explore. But chickens are just the beginning. The ultimate goal here is deextinction.

[00:01:30]Colossal plans to use this exact technology to bring back the extinct 10-ft tall moa bird. They are proving that extinction might no longer be the end of the story.
