Zapraszam Was w podróż, która zabierze Was dalej niż Everest i dalej niż Księżyc. Do miejsca, gdzie cisza jest absolutna, a ciśnienie – miażdżące. Na samo dno Ziemi. To nie jest opowieść o zdobywaniu szczytów ani o podboju kosmosu. To historia tych, którzy wybrali inny kierunek– w dół, ku ciemności, pod powierzchnię fal, tam gdzie kończy się światło, a zaczyna cisza i miażdżące ciśnienie. "Najgłębiej" to podróż na samo dno Rowu Mariańskiego – do Głębi Challengera, najgłębszego znanego miejsca na Ziemi. W tym odcinku zabieram Was w opowieść o największej nieznanej przestrzeni na naszej planecie. O marzeniach, obsesjach i ryzyku tych, którzy postanowili sięgnąć tam, gdzie człowiek nie powinien przeżyć. O ludziach, którzy dla nauki, dla chwały albo z czystej ciekawości zeszli w mrok, który przez wieki inspirował legendy o Krakenach, Lewiatanach i potworach z dawnych map. Poznacie początki tej fascynacji: od starożytnych nurków z Grecji i Bizancjum, przez średniowiecznych poławiaczy pereł, aż po pionierów technologii, którzy budowali pierwsze dzwony nurkowe i skafandry. Usłyszycie o Edmundu Halleyu – znanym głównie z astronomii – który jako jeden z pierwszych zszedł w ciemność głębin. O braciach Deane i Auguście Siebe, których konstrukcje zmieniły nurkowanie w coś więcej niż desperacki skok w nieznane. Ale prawdziwy wyścig na dno zaczął się w XX wieku. Wspólnie z Williamem Beebe i Otisem Bartonem zanurzymy się w batysferze niemal kilometr pod powierzchnię oceanu, by później śledzić dramatyczne losy załogi USS Squalus – okrętu podwodnego, który zamienił się w stalowy grób. I wreszcie dotrzemy do przełomowego momentu: zejścia batyskafu Trieste, w którym Don Walsh i Jacques Piccard jako pierwsi ludzie w historii sięgnęli dna Rowu Mariańskiego, niemal 11 kilometrów pod wodą. To jednak nie koniec historii. Porozmawiamy o tym, co dzieje się na tych głębokościach: o potworach, które być może tam istnieją, o życiu, które przetrwało w warunkach, jakie wydają się niemożliwe. Dowiecie się też, jak technologia XXI wieku – z Jamesem Cameronem i batyskafem Deepsea Challenger oraz misjami Limiting Factor Victora Vescovo – pozwoliła ponownie spojrzeć w otchłań. Dlaczego to robimy? Dlaczego z takim uporem schodzimy tam, gdzie każdy metr w dół to walka o życie? Czy to tylko ciekawość, czy coś głębszego – pragnienie sprawdzenia, gdzie naprawdę kończy się świat? Dobrego słuchania! Rafał Timeline: 0:00 Intro 0:58 Rozdział I: Pod Powierzchnią.

Casey shares personal and historical highlights of the complexity and ecological importance of the ocean's depths. She reports on her dive to the Twilight Zone (600-3300 feet) that is filled with bioluminescent creatures that sparkle and glow. Despite these delights, Casey points to the terrestrial bias and lack of funding for ocean exploration compared to space. Susan Casey is a premiere chronicler of the aquatic world. Most recently she traversed the globe and gives first-hand accounts of joining scientists and explorers on dives to the deepest places on the planet. She stands in for us with her insightful questions of the lives and motivations of marine geologists, marine biologists, and oceanographers who are searching for knowledge in this vast unseen realm. She takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of deep-sea exploration, from the myths and legends of the ancient world to storied shipwrecks, to the first intrepid bathysphere pilots, to the scientists who are just beginning to understand the mind-blowing complexity and, most importantly, the ecological importance of the home of the quadrillions of creatures who live in realms long thought to be devoid of life. She is the author of several books including Devil's Teeth: A True Story of Survival and Obsession Among American's Great White Sharks (Henry Holt 2005), The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean (Doubleday 2010), Voices in the Ocean: A Journey into the Wild and Haunting World of Dolphins (Anchor 2016) and Underworld: Journeys to the Depths of the Ocean (Doubleday 2023)Interview Date: 8/5/2024.

“With all this strangeness, there is also beauty beyond words.” That's how the famous scientist and explorer William Beebe described an underwater marvel off the coast of New York and New Jersey in the late 1920s. In Part 2 of our marine-themed summer series, we return to the Hudson Canyon, which has been nominated as a U.S. National Marine Sanctuary. As WCS Wild Audio's Dan Rosen learned from Noah Chesnin and Dr. Merry Camhi, there's still a lot we don't know about this massive canyon.  Reporting: Dan RosenGuests: Noah Chesnin, Merry Camhi

In this episode of The Growing Readers Podcast, host Bianca Schulze and author Jeanne Walker Harvey dive into the inspiring story of Else Bostelmann, the artist who courageously painted the wonders of the deep sea in the 1930s. Harvey shares insights from her new picture book biography Elsae B. In the Sea: The Woman Who Painted the Wonders of the Deep, which explores Bostelmann's groundbreaking work at the intersection of art and science. This episode provides a fascinating look at a pioneering female artist whose work sparked wonder and advanced marine science, offering valuable lessons about creativity, conservation, and the power of pursuing your dreams. Bostelman fearlessly descended into the ocean depths in a copper diving helmet to paint the magnificent marine life that scientist William Beebe was discovering on his expeditions. Her stunning artwork, published in National Geographic, brought the strange beauty of the deep sea to the public eye for the first time. Harvey discusses her meticulous research process, the challenges of uncovering details about Bostelmann's life, and how she collaborated with illustrator Melodie Stacey to vividly capture the undersea world on the page. She also shares her hopes that Bostelmann's story will inspire young readers to follow their curiosity, appreciate the natural world, and find the courage to pursue their own adventures and passions.

Brad Matsen has been fascinated and writing about water and the ocean for over forty years.  He is the author of, "Death and Oil: A True Story of the Piper Alpha Disaster on the North Sea";  "Jacques Cousteau: The Sea King";  "Descent: The Heroic Discovery of the Abyss", a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in 2006;  the New York Times bestseller, "Titanic's Last Secrets";  "Planet Ocean: A Story of Life the Sea, and Dancing to the Fossil Record" with artist Ray Troll, and many more.  Brad has written for numerous publications, was the editor of Alaska Fisherman's Journal and the Pacific Editor for National Fisherman. In this podcast, Brad reads from his essay, "Salmon in the Trees".Reflecting on his lifelong relationship with water and the ocean.Collaborating with fish artist extraordinaire, Ray Troll, on "Shocking Fish Tales" and "Planet Ocean".To write about responsible stewardship of the oceans, Brad is inclined to approach it sideways, in a way that kindles reader fascination.As told in "Descent", Brad tells of how William Beebe pioneered field stations and was, in many respects, the first ecologist. In "Jacques Cousteau: The Sea King", Brad recounts stories of working with the explorer's life and Cousteau's insatiable curiosity for ocean explorations.Brad recounts some of the fascinating details around his writing of "Titanic's Last Secrets".Brad narrates his essay, "Salmon in the Trees", originally published in "The Book of the Tongass".Excerpt:  'Nature is a workshop and not a temple.''The water, the forest, the people, and the salmon of the archipelago were enough to claim me.  Trollers often fish alone, catch salmon one at a time on hooks, and depend entirely upon guile, instinct, sham, trickery, and luck for success.''I remember that morning at Point Adolphus like a poker player remembers a pat hand.  The sensual feast kindled in me a new awareness of the bonds between the water, forest, and salmon of the Tongass.'Brad shares some of his reflections at this station in life.  He also recounts a road trip with his twenty year old grandson, "Just dig how cool it is to be alive—this experience of being here!  It's astonishing.  It's really wonderful!"

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Where on earth does the time go? Suddenly we're halfway through 2021 and I'm still vaguely thinking we're only a few months in. I'm getting seriously behind on listener suggestions, so let's have an episode about some weird fish that's all listener suggestions. Thanks to Page, Joel, an animal lover who wants to remain anonymous, Brigham (whose name I hope I'm pronouncing correctly), and someone who calls themself Fireburster. Fireburster and Anonymous Animal Lover also both left us really nice reviews, so thank you! I picked all these suggestions at random, just grabbing fish suggestions that sounded interesting, but the great thing is they all turned out to live in a specific part of the deep sea. Brigham and Fireburster both suggested the same fish, so let's start with that one: the dragon fish. Neither of them specified which kind of dragon fish they're talking about, though. It's a popular name for weird fish of various kinds. We've even talked about a few before, the Pacific blackdragon of episode 193, which was coincidentally suggested by Page, and the barbeled dragonfish in that same episode. That's the episode about William Beebe's mystery fish, which happens to be my current favorite. We only talked about the barbeled dragonfish briefly before, so let's learn more about them now. The barbeled dragonfish gets its name from the filament that hangs down from its chin, called a barbel. If you've ever wondered what the proper name for a catfish's whiskers is, they're also barbels. The dragonfish's barbel has a photophore at the end that produces blue-green bioluminescent light, and the fish flashes the light to attract prey. Its head is large and its jaws are full of sharp teeth, so when an animal comes close, CHOMP! The barbeled dragonfish grabs it. The dragonfish isn't very big, with the blackdragon that we talked about in episode 193 being the largest at only 16 inches long, or 40 cm. Most species are about half that. So what happens when an animal the same size as or even bigger than the dragonfish happens along? The dragonfish eats it, that's what happens. It has large jaws that it can unhinge to swallow prey that's bigger than it is, and its stomach can expand considerably to hold whatever it swallows. Mostly it just eats tiny animals like krill and amphipods, though. We don't know a whole lot about dragonfish. Various species live throughout most of the world's oceans, especially in tropical and subtropical areas, and they don't live in the deepest parts of the ocean. Instead, they're found in what's called the twilight zone, or more properly the mesopelagic. Only 1% of all light shining down from the surface makes it down this far, which is why so many animals produce their own bioluminescent light. The dragonfish also has photophores along its sides that it can flash to help attract prey or attract mates. On nights when the moon isn't too bright,

This week we'll learn about five mystery fish that William Beebe spotted from his bathysphere in the early 1930s...and which have never been seen again. Thanks to Page for suggesting deep-sea fish!

Close-up of the extraordinary jaws (seen from underneath) is on the right: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Shaw. This week we’re going to descend metaphorically into the depths of the ocean and learn about some mystery fish spotted once from a bathysphere by famous naturalist William Beebe and never seen again. Deep-sea fish is a suggestion by Page, so thank you, Page, for a fascinating and creepy addition to monster month. William Beebe was an American naturalist born in 1877 who lived until 1962, which is amazing considering he made repeated dives into the deep sea in the very first bathysphere in the early 1930s. We talked about bathyspheres way back in episode 27--you know, the one where I scream about them imploding and kind of freak out a little. Even today descending into the deep sea is dangerous, and a hundred years ago it was way way way more dangerous. Beebe was an early conservationist who urged other scientists to stop shooting so many animals. Back then if you wanted to study an animal, you just went out and killed as many of them as you could find. Beebe pointed out the obvious, that this was wasteful and didn’t provide nearly as much information as careful observation of living animals in the wild. He also pioneered the study of ecosystems, how animals fit into their environment and interact with it and each other. While Beebe mostly studied birds, he was also interested in underwater animals. Really, he seems to have been interested in everything. He studied birds all over the world, was a good taxidermist, and especially liked to study ocean life by dredging small animals up from the bottom and examining them. He survived a plane crash, was nearly killed by an erupting volcano he was observing, and fought in WWI. Once when he broke his leg during an expedition and had to remain immobilized, he had his bed carried outside every day so he could make observations of the local animals as they grew used to his presence. In the 1920s, during an expedition to the Galapagos Islands, he started studying marine animals more closely. First he just dangled from a rope over the surface of the ocean, which was attached to a ship’s boom, but eventually he tried using a diving helmet. This was so successful that he started thinking about building a vessel that could withstand the pressures of the deep sea. With the help of engineer Otis Barton, the world’s first bathysphere was invented and Barton and Beebe conducted dozens of descents in Bermuda, especially off the coast of Nonsuch Island. The bathysphere had two little windows and a single light that shone through one of the windows, illuminating the outside just enough to see fish and other animals. The bathysphere couldn’t descend all that deeply,

We liked talking about George Francis Train so much that we are continuing our "Explorers and Adventurers" theme with a discussion of the life of extraordinary scientist and explorer Charles William Beebe.  Theme music by Strobotone.

It is time to grab a cup of tea (Earl Grey Hot for the Trekkies), strap in and get ready for another episode from the Nerds we all look forward to each week. Also grab a slice of birthday cake and help us wish the DJ a Happy Birthday, yep our favourite funny guy is another year older. Now on with the show; that’s right, we once again have another fun packed episode in which we entertain you with some of the latest topics in Nerd pop culture news. This week we start off with news of an animated series coming from Netflix of Magic the Gathering. While details are limited at the moment it is something to look forward to. The boys have some interesting points to consider with this one, and the chief among them is based on who determines what is canon for stories. Also what is possibly the coolest car commercial at the moment?Next up we look at why brushing your teeth is more important than just to protect your teeth and good breathe. The implications for this are actually quite important, particularly if you want to remember where you hid your favourite comics and figurines. Once again Buck has found a research article that we should take a moment to look at that highlights some very interesting and disturbing facts. So, remember to brush, rinse and floss if you want to have the best health in the nursing home.Next up Professor brings us news that Tesla is now becoming a rolling game console. That’s right, Tesla cars are gaming consoles with the release of another game to play on the in car tablet style interactive screen. Unfortunately you are not able to play them while driving, um, oops, maybe that’s a good thing. We also hear about what some people have been doing with their Teslas that has been noticed by Elon, and trust us, this is not something we recommend.The games played this week show us that Buck truly is a grumpy old man, and that DJ is a fan of Clint Eastwood. But honestly tough, who isn’t a fan of Clit? What game is this, listen in or cheat and scroll down to the link. DJ has been playing Mortal Kombat 11 and still hasn’t exhibited any signs of PTSD, lots of other funny behaviour, but hey, that is normal. Professor has set fire to a house and read a book by the light. Then we have the shout outs, remembrances, birthdays, and events. Speaking of Birthdays, we wish to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to DJ. He is OLD folks!!! As always, stay safe, take care of each other and stay hydrated, catch you all next time.EPISODE NOTES:Magic the Gathering the animated series - https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/magic-the-gathering-animated-series-netflix-russo-brothers-1203230595/#article-commentsThe wonders of brushing your teeth - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/06/190603102549.htmCuphead now playable in Tesla - https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/06/02/cuphead-will-be-playable-in-tesla-model-3-model-s-and-model-x-cars?sf103564640=1Games currently playingBuck– Get of my lawn - https://store.steampowered.com/app/260410/Get_Off_My_Lawn/Professor- Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - https://cataclysmdda.org/DJ– MK 11 - https://store.playstation.com/en-au/product/EP1018-CUSA11379_00-00MORTALKOMBAT11Other topics discussedStar Wars making the expanded universe not canon- https://www.dailydot.com/parsec/star-wars-expanded-universe-not-canon/Star Wars novels releases by date- https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_novels_by_release_dateDungeons and Dragons (live action film series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons_(film_series)Magic the Gathering Lore Trailers- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW-PCQJfXX0Dungeons & Dragons (1983 TV series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons_(TV_series)Renault KWID Outsider featuring Dungeons & Dragons- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC9-bfsNne8&feature=youtu.beFull report on the wonders of brushing your teeth- https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/1/eaau3333Report: People who curse have better vocabularies- https://www.sciencealert.com/people-who-swearing-cursing-rude-words-better-vocabulary-scienceA couple shot a porn film in a Tesla- https://www.businessinsider.com/couple-shot-porno-in-moving-tesla-on-autopilot-2019-5/?r=AU&IR=TElon Mush smokes weed on the Joe Rogan Podcast- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VcCzKjXs-8&feature=youtu.beVictorian Police now has Tesla X police cars- https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/motoring/on-the-road/victoria-police-add-shock-new-vehicle-to-its-fleet/news-story/d43c541e67e72d40f0dfb4a4579493e6Tomorrow Never Dies (1997 James Bond Film)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrow_Never_DiesTerminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003 movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_3:_Rise_of_the_MachinesBethesda Fallout 76 canvas bags saga 6 months later- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaPo5jgZbj0All things Apple in WWDC 19- https://www.cnet.com/news/wwdc-2019-everything-apple-announced-ios-13-dark-mode-mac-pro-macos-10-15-ipados/1989 Tiananmen Square protests- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protestsTrump and Macron honor D-Day veterans- https://www.cbsnews.com/live-news/d-day-anniversary-watch-live-stream-normandy-invasion-trump-macron-today-2019-06-06-live-updates/97-year-old jumps out of plane for D-Day- https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/ww2-parachute-tom-rice/index.htmlThat’s Not Canon Podcasts- General Queeries - https://thatsnotcanon.com/generalqueeriespodcast- Cosmic Moments - https://thatsnotcanon.com/cosmicmomentspodcastShoutouts3 Jun 2019 - iTunes, the jukebox software that revolutionized the music industry after its launch in 2001 is now shutting down.

On call at all hours to ensure that Detroit had electrical service 24 hours a day, Ford was able to use his flexible working schedule to experiment with his pet project—building a horseless carriage with a gasoline-powered engine. The Quadricycle had two driving speeds, no reverse, no brakes, rudimentary steering ability and a doorbell button as a horn, and it could reach about 20 miles per hour. Aside from one breakdown on Washington Boulevard due to a faulty spring, the drive was a success, and Ford was on his way to becoming one of the most formidable success stories in American business history. - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/henry-ford-test-drives-his-quadricycle4 Jun 1940 - British complete the "Miracle of Dunkirk" by evacuating 338,226 allied troops from France via a flotilla of over 800 vessels including Royal Navy destroyers, merchant marine boats, fishing boats, pleasure craft and even lifeboats - https://www.onthisday.com/articles/the-military-retreat-they-called-a-miracle4 Jun 2004 – Marvin Heemeyer, an American welder and an automobilemuffler repair shop owner went on a rampage with a modified bulldozer also known as the Killdozer.

Because there are so many weird fish out there, I’ve narrowed this week’s episode down to weird BIG fish! We’ll cover the smaller ones another time. Thanks to Damian and Sam for suggestions this week! A manta ray being interviewed by a diver: A manta ray with white markings: A mola mola, pancake of the sea, with a diver: The flathead catfish head. So many teeth: A Wels catfish with Jeremy Wade: A couple of red cornetfish: Howick Falls in South Africa. Put that on my endless list of places I want to visit: Further reading: Karl Shuker's blog post about the black and white manta rays Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Shaw. It’s another listener suggestion week! Recently, Damian sent a list of excellent topic suggestions, one of which was weirdest fish, and I am ALL OVER that! But because there are so many weird fish, I’m going to only look at weird humongous fish this time, including a mystery fish. We’ll start with a fish that doesn’t actually look very fishlike. Rays are closely related to sharks but if you didn’t know what they were and saw one, you’d probably start to freak out and think you were seeing some kind of water alien or a sea monster. The ray has a broad, flattened body that extends on both sides into wings that it uses to fly through the water, so to speak. The wings are actually fins, although they don’t look like most fish fins. Like sharks, rays have no bones, only cartilage. Rays are so weird that I’m probably going to give them their own episode one day, but for now let’s just look at one, the manta ray. There are two species of manta ray alive today. The reef manta can grow 18 feet from wingtip to wingtip, or 5.5 meters. Manta birostris is even bigger, up to 29 feet across, or 8.8 meters, which is why it’s called the giant manta ray. This is just colossally huge. I didn’t realize how big manta rays were until just now. Both species live in warm oceans throughout the world and both eat plankton, krill, and tiny fish. Sometimes the manta ray is called the devil fish because of its horns, which aren’t horns at all, of course. The two protuberances that stick forward at the manta ray’s front are actually fins that grow on either side of the rectangular mouth. These fins help direct plankton into the mouth. When the manta ray isn’t feeding, it can roll up these fins into points and close its mouth. Its eyes are on the sides of its head. Manta rays are white underneath and black or dark brown on top. But there is a mystery associated with the giant manta ray, with reports of black and white striped rays dating back to at least 1923. In April of that year, naturalist William Beebe spotted a manta ray near the Galapagos Islands that had white wingtips and a pair of broad white stripes extending from the sides of the head halfway down the back. Beebe thought it might be a new species of manta ray. There are other reports of manta rays with white or grayish V-shaped markings on the back. Better than that, in the last few decades divers and boaters started to get photographs and even video of these manta rays with white markings. These days, manta rays with white markings are known to be common, although for decades scientists thought all manta rays were unmarked dorsally, or on the back. Since the markings are unique to individuals, it makes it easy for researchers to track individuals they recognize. The manta ray also sometimes has black speckles or blotches on its belly. But wait, there’s more! According to zoologist Karl Shuker, in 2014, researchers in Florida published a paper discussing the ability of manta rays to actually CHANGE COLOR in minutes when they want to. The color in question that it changes? Its white markings. The markings can be barely visible against its background color, and then will brighten considerably when other manta rays are around or when it’s feeding.
