The Miller-Urey Experiment
What Was The Miller-Urey Experiment?

The Miller-Urey experiment was the first attempt to scientifically explore ideas about the origin of life. Stanley Miller simulated conditions thought be common on the ancient Earth. The purpose was to test the idea that the complex molecules of life (in this case, amino acids) could have arisen on our young planet through simple, natural chemical reactions.
The experiment was a success in that amino acids, the building blocks of life, were produced during the simulation. The finding was so significant that it kick started an entirely new field of study: Prebiotic Chemistry.
Scientists now have reason to believe that the gases used in the Miller-Urey simulation were not actually the same as those of the ancient atmosphere. Because of this, many experiments have since been done, testing a wide variety of atmospheres and different environmental conditions. The results are overwhelming: the molecules of life can form under a wide variety of ancient Earth-like conditions.
Many questions about the origin of life remain to be answered but these findings give strong support to the idea that the first living cells on Earth may have emerged from natural chemical reactions.

For the first idea was simply interactive with Daphnia. I thought it looks great when daphnia be projected as a dog size! Actually they are too tiny when we want to play with them.
But in my experience, they are sensitive about temperature, quality of water, density, oxygen and light.
They are easy to die and easy to ill. So they need time to recover and take a rest. 10 minute is still short. But at least, not for human for Daphnia need some time! During 10 min breaks visitor could think about living creature as like as human, not LEGO or TOY they are.
