The top of the rock is leveled, forming a level bench. This flat bench has provided my ...

Free-floating molecules in the water tend to cling to smooth surfaces. This surface effect allows various molecules to gather in one place. Ultraviolet energy ... flat surfaces, which themselves are sticky and gather more simple molecules. Within these scums, ever more complex molecules are easily formed. These more complex molecules tend to be three-dimensional, and bulge outward from the rock surfaces. This allows them to be easily washed away by the sea, forming a primordial soup not of basic simple mole- cules, but of the far more complex and already evolved RNA macromole- cules ...

- 226: The Beak Of The Finch

- 230: Cinematography: Everything You Need To Know

With the successes of these earlier films, Weir has directed larger budgeted productions, including Gallipoli (1980) and The Year of Living Dangerously (1982), which was ...
