Exhibit Summary
Miller Simulation Experiment is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Earth & Planet category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
This display restores the entire process of the Miller experiment via hands-on experiments and panoramic simulations. Through hands-on experimental operations, the audience can intuitively grasp the process and principles of the Miller experiment. The process of producing organic matter (especially amino acids) via thunder and lightning in the reducing atmosphere of the original earth, and further grasp the birth of life based on the theory of chemical origin.
Operation
In his experiment, Miller assumed that at the beginning of the origin of life, there were only hydrogen, ammonia, and water vapor in the atmosphere, and there was no oxygen. When he put these gases into the simulated atmosphere and detonated them with electricity, he found that some amino acids were produced. Amino acids are the basic units for synthesizing proteins, and proteins are the form of life. Therefore, he believed that the theory of life from scratch would be established, proving that life evolved. The first stage, the stage of generating small organic molecules from inorganic small molecules, that is, the chemical evolution process of the origin of life, took place under primitive earth conditions. The second stage is to generate biological macromolecules from organic small molecules. This process occurred in the primitive ocean. The third stage is to form a multi-molecular system from biological macromolecules. In the fourth stage, organic multi-molecular systems evolve into primitive life. This stage was formed in the primitive ocean and is the most complex and decisive stage in the origin of life. The displays restore the process of Miller's experiment, using experimental devices combined with media image content, restoring the experimental process via lighting effects, and revealing the key links and significance of the experiment via media images, more intuitively demonstrating the principles and importance of Miller's experiment.
