Miller experimentHistorical aspectsThe field of prebiotic chemistry effectively began with a publication in Science 50 years ago by Stanley L. Miller on the spark discharge synthesis of amino acids and other compounds using a mixture of reduced gases that were thought to represent the components of ...
Original extracts from an unpublished 1958 experiment conducted by the late Stanley L. Miller were recently found and analyzed using modern state-of-the-art analytical methods. The extracts were produced by the action of an electric discharge on a mixture of methane (CH 4 ), hydrogen sulfide (...
Miller [New York: Dutton, 1982], 95).15. R. Eldridge, “Rorty, Cavell, and Criticism,” 115.16. Furthermore, Cavell’s undoing of this self-forgetfulness may be responsible for the most common misreading of his work—namely, that he seeks to refute skepticism. For a summary of this ...
For paucity of space, I will start with the developments starting with Stanley Miller's experiment on abiotic synthesis of amino acids till the most recent work on numerical simulation of hydro-chemical processes of collapsing clouds and the evolution of complex bio-molecules. We are evidently far...
It transpires this inhibition likely traced back to a fear that in order to stop the experiment they would have to engage in a socially awkward and forceful confrontation with the experimenter (Miller et al. 1995, p. 9; Russell and Gregory 2011, pp. 499–500). To avoid this clash, ...
