They had cork blocks to sample the gas phase, as well as the aqueous phase (cid:1) proposed that high energy bursts allowed gas phase reacitons to turn small molecules into larger building blocks we need. Had electrodes creating high energy sparks, reacting with gas phase to form high energy blocks. (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Proposal: earlier is more reducing = oxygen free environment. In late 60 a meteorite landed in australia. People saw it fall and it was very large, made it very special. They took parts from it and studied the organic components, and the disitribution of amino acids and relative abundance of the rock was very similar to the miller urey experiment.
