10 x 2 = 20 20/2 = 10 10 x 0 = 0 0/0 = 10? I know what you are saying but dividing by 0 does not make sense. I have 6 cookies. I place them into 2 groups. I have 3 cookies in each group. 6-2=4 - Created the first group. 4-2=2 - Created the second group. 2-2=0 - Created the last group. No cookies left so I can create no more full or partial groups. 6/2=3 I have 6 cookies. I place them into 0 groups. How many cookies do I have in each group? 6-0=6 Created the first group out of nothing. 6-0=6 Created the second group out of nothing. 6-0=6 Created the third group out of nothing. ... So wait, does that mean it is infinite? 6/0=(infinite) If so that means (infinite) times 0 is 6. Or any number for that matter. See? Dividing by 0 does not make sense. Dividing by 0 is NOT 0. It is not true that you create no groups. But rather you COULD NOT make any groups. Dividing by 0 does not equal the number as someone said. Your logic was putting it into one group. The answer to a divide by 0 problem is undefined, because you CANNOT do it. Hope this helps.

Urey-Miller Experiment The URL below has a diagram that displays the Urey-Miller experiment. This experiment's purpose was to simulate pre-biotic soup and the generation of early life. The experiment used water (H20), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), and hydrogen (H2). Looking at the diagram will explain this a lot better. Miller and Urey believed the experiment was successful. I have my doubts. Just producing 11 out of 20 amino acids is not close to a cell. Wikipedia will have much more information if you would like to know more about the original experiment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%E2%80%93Urey_experiment Modernizing the Experiment I am wishing to perform a modernized Urey-Miller experiment for a local science fair. I need to perform research on what fossils and rocks can tell us about earth's early atmosphere. Some evidence points towards a much different atmosphere but I believe if I could get some input then this will turn out to be a much more thorough experiment. I would prefer direct evidence such as diagnosis of air bubbles in amber rather than speculation. Also I would like to see if any changes of the setup to the experiment could be made to reflect a more accurate representation. I would also love advice on how to put this together, sterilizing the equipment, tips, and how to analyze the chemicals. Any input would be great! Hope this interests many people, I will publish my results when I am done.
