Does any of the other "seasoned citizens" remember the TV show Science Fiction Theater"? At the beginning of the show an experiment would be shown which lead to the theme for that night's show.

Well I remember a bell jar with a mixture of primordial gases and a electrical discharge being presented.

Just goes to show...reality sometimes does follow fiction (art).

The Miller experiment was 1952-53. Science Fiction Theater was a couple of years later. I was watching it in 1956. By that time the Miller experiment would have been world famous.
