I haven’t seen Julie vs. Julia, but this is the best thing to ever appear on the interwebs.
Julia Childs teaches about the possible conditions which created the so called “Primordial Soup” in contemporary theories of Abiogenesis. The video is from the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum’s Life in The Universe gallery which opened in 1976, but is now closed.
Abiogenesis is a fascinating topic. Another prominent theory is that some of the precursors of life were created elsewhere in space and brought here via asteroid or comet. This theory (sometimes called, panspermia) was recently bolstered by the discovery of an amino acid on a comet.

I love how she is pointing to the apparatus diagram with a knife. The video actually reminds me of those ones explaining creationism, maybe science is no less crazy?
