Miller and Urey tested the hypothesis that organic molecules can form in a reducing atmosphere in their 1953 experiment designed to simulate early Earth conditions. Their findings demonstrated that simple inorganic compounds could react under specific conditions to produce organic molecules. This experiment significantly contributed to our understanding of how life might have originated on Earth.
