Dean Murchison himself is one of the rare other male philosophers.
Everybody knows that Murchison 's predictions are pretty accurate.
This is a hartebeest in Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda.
night sky over the town of Murchison , Australia in September 1969.
So I treated a chunk of that Murchison with chloroform and methanol and you're gonna hear about that as soon as I tell you just a bit about where it came from.
needed for life were found in the Murchison .
And I have a follow-up question about Dean Murchison .
And the pieces fell to Earth in the little town of Murchison , Australia. This is a real image of the town of Murchison that you can see in the upper left corner.
those red spots represents a place where pieces of Murchison , maybe about this size to this size, were picked up along with hundreds of smaller pieces.
So the answer to where the stuff in the Murchison came from is it was, a lot of it anyway, was synthesized on the surface of these little dust particles that I'm gonna show you in
not have been able to tell you is this the Murchison material, or is this the synthesized material.
If you analyze the Murchison , you discover it's around two percent organic material by weight, most of which is a polymer called kerogen, or kerogen-like polymer.
It fell in Australia in the late '60's, the Murchison meteorite.
So, about another character who I find particularly interesting, Dean Murchison .
And this is how the Murchison meteorite got here.
And it's been delivering organic compounds to the Earth ever since and so, as you saw in that Murchison meteorite.
And we know more about the Murchison than any other meteorite so far.
So, I extracted a chunk of the Murchison , maybe a gram sample, put it into a mixture of chloroform and methanol, ground it up, took the sample and put it under
So, we had found soap molecules in the Murchison meteorite and discovered that they could self-assemble into those membrane structures that I showed
And by this time we had shown that the meteorite membranes could be produced from the Murchison components.
