Episode notes
Titan's Hydrocarbon Oceans
- Titan, Saturn's largest moon, has oceans of liquid methane and ethane.
- This suggests hydrocarbons can form without biological processes.
Abiogenic Hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbons may not all originate from ancient organic matter.
- Evidence suggests they also form abiogenically, as seen on Saturn's moon Titan.
Swedish Experiment
- A 2009 Swedish Royal Academy experiment simulated Earth's mantle conditions.
- They successfully created complex hydrocarbons by squeezing methane.
