i learned about that experiment this year in a bio foundations course. they basically set up a closed system with some soupy fluid that was supposed to mimic the early ocean. then they introduced a high energy spark, supposedly to mimic a lightning strike(lightning was common early in earths history because of the extreme volcanic activity) and then collected and analized the broth. it turned out that they produced a few amino acids completely randomly. pretty miraculous
