    is this the pressure chamber that simulates conditions after the big bang and somehow makes amino acids?

      Uhm no, it's basically a pressure cooker used to sterilize lab material. It takes like 30 minutes to do its thing and then you have to put the wet things in a hot dry chamber over night so you can easily find yourself in this situation while thinking "damn I could be at home rn"

          Yeah that's a really cool experiment. And I always wondered "why they didn't kept the experiment going"

            The possibility of accidentally initiating life based on D-amino acids instead of L-amino acids?
