Dr Michaels,
the channel is getting awfully narrow.
:52:08
Yes, we're entering a capillary.
:52:11
Try to stay in the middle.
:52:19
The wall's transparent.
:52:21
It's less than one ten-thousandth
of an inch thick. And porous.
:52:35
Doctor, just think of it.
:52:37
We're the first ones to actually see it happen.
:52:40
The living process.
:52:43
Mind letting me in on
what's going on out there?
:52:45
It's just a simple exchange, Mr Grant.
:52:49
Corpuscles releasing carbon dioxide
:52:52
in return for oxygen
coming through on the other side.
:52:57
- Don't tell me they're refuelling!
- Oxygenation.
:53:01
We've known it exists
even though we never saw it.
:53:04
Like the structure of the atom.
:53:07
But to actually see
one of the miracles of the universe,
:53:12
the engineering of the cycle of a breath...
:53:15
I wouldn't call it a miracle.
Just an interchange of gases.
:53:18
The end product
of 500 million years of evolution.
:53:23
You can't believe all that is accidental? That
there isn't a creative intelligence at work?
:53:29
Well, the creative...
:53:34
- Mr Grant?
- Yes, skipper?
:53:36
I'm losing pressure in the flotation tanks.
:53:39
Check the manual control panel.
It's aft on the starboard side.
:53:51
The left tank's losing pressure.
:53:59
There must be a short
in the electrical valve circuit system.
