Recreating Life: Miller and Yuri's Experiment
In the 1950s, chemist Harold Yuri and his student, Stanley Miller, conducted an experiment to simulate early Earth conditions to understand the origin of life. They set up containers with water (representing the ocean) and gases like methane and ammonia (representing the atmosphere) connected by glass tubes. Through gentle heating and simulated lightning, they observed the formation of glycine, an organic compound crucial for life's building blocks.
