- The Spraying of water microdroplets forms luminescence and causes chemical reactions in surrounding gas.
- In 1952, the American chemist Stanley Miller and physicist Harold Urey have demonstrated that the organic compounds (such as amino acids) needed for life could form with the application of electricity to a mixture of water and inorganic gases.
- When the lightning bolt struck the ocean it is triggering chemical interaction with gases such as methane, ammonia, and hydrogen that created organic molecules.
- According to the new study, the water spray is sufficient to generate the organic compounds without the requirement of external electricity.
- The findings showed that it was not necessarily that lightning strikes may have kick-started life on Earth.
- Tiny sparks due to crashing waves or waterfalls may have done the job.
