Julia Child Recreates Primordial Soup

Posted by Marilyn Terrell in Food & Drinks, Science & Tech, Video Clips on November 4, 2009 at 1:44 am


Preparing food is probably a mere child’s play for master chef Julia Child, so here’s something a little more challenging: cooking up a batch of primordial soup.

This delightful video of Julia Child in her kitchen boiling up a batch of primordial soup was made for the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum and shown in Life in The Universe gallery from 1976 until the exhibit closed.

    Interesting... but dna and rna are a bit harder to make, than boiling water and hoping that it the hydrogen bonds don't rip apart the structure (not to mention the possible de-naturing of the structures due to the boiling temperature (it happens to bacteria when boiled). Lastly I hope there is life out there, but it's hard to find a planet with such a good magnetosphere as ours to keep out the solar winds as to retain an atmosphere which could hold life.

    Anyways Julia Child is cool

    Experimenting in the kitchen I have produced some primordial soups myself. So I'm not going to say what can happen when you start boiling things out of the ordinary.

    There's plenty of life right here. Boiling in my primordial kettle we call a colon.

    Oh this is such a sweet story... How lucky the parents are to have raised such an angel like that...It has to be 1 of the hardest things ever to lose a child. I know how precious my own 2 kids are and I cant even imagine what they as parents are going thru, hopefully finding some peace in all those little love notes around the house, only God knows what they truly feel and those who have experienced it themselves!!! It is really sad that the people who posted negative comments must not even know the meaning of Love, Caring or Compassion... thats ok we dont need to judge the negative ones either, that just puts us down to their level... God will do the judging on them one day we need not worry about that... As to the parents *** Peace to you and Good Luck with your fundraising for finding a cure your daughter is something to be proud of, many prayers go out to your family *** Nikki

    Obviously most of you have never been through losing a child due to cancer. Until you do it is very unfair to leave such negative comments. As a Aunt who lost my 5 year old niece to cancer there wasn't much cleaning in my own home and much less at in my brothers home. We spent every min we had with her at the hospital and with our other children. Until you have been through something like this you have no room to say anything at all.

    Losing your own daughter or son is badddd but losing your own mother even worse..I lost my mother 6 days before Christmas...in 2007...But nothing I can do or said...when you lose it , you realize to have it...too late...we should live happy with what we have or even don't have and respect one another. And we should treat people the way we want to be treated...I pretty sure everyone of us wanna be treated nice, kind and respect. GOD live his life for us why can we do the same thing?by the way, people with negative thinking don't even try to fucking judge my writing..I"M Proud to be Vietnamese American...
