Silicon bonds are much weaker than carbon bonds. The molecules formed with silicon instead of carbon would break down much easier. Such a being would be unstable. Although we do have silicon based life on earth. We call them computers. It is just that long chain molecules like polypeptides and DNA would break down way too easy. If they could evolve a way to strengthen the silicon bonds then maybe it could happen. I have no clue how they would accomplish this but it would be intriguing to see it and learn about it.

One of the species I-ve created, the Dalemans, have a silicon-based biology. They live in temperatures a good lot hotter than Earth, and their bodies violently react with water and oxygen, so to go to Earth, they need protective suits for short-term visits, and domes that simulate Dalema-s climate for long-term stays. And yes, their computers use carbon in lieu of silicon.

PENTAGON+NASA WAKE UP. 75 YEARS UFO/UAP BLAH BLAH. US Intelligence Director Avril Haines. My revolution in physics has been valid for 27 years. At least I discovered our brothers, the extraterrestrials, on January 17th, 1995 and am in contact with them. Logically, I've been entitled to the Nobel Prize in Physics for 27 years. Johann Zdebor

I really hope we can confirm existence of life in other planets before I die. I can die peacefully that humans are not the only beings on the universe. No matter how small, even single celled organisms are enough. I just want to know that earthlings are not the only conscious beings cause that will give us HEAVY responsibility.

Kinda mind blowing that the environment here on earth might look like hell to aliens. Temperature here might be chilling or super hot to them, oxygen is poison gas, and water is like lava to them. So they would be mindblown when they knew that we are drinking water. Lol.

you said, silicon based life works without oxygen. it is life without carbon- then you said - we dont know if this life has DNA-. in DNA there is carbon there is oxygen; therefore you might just expect some kind of code not DNA

If they did exist theyd need methane or ammonia which yes, on Titan there is a methane sea. The biggest Silicon organism I can imagine is a worm that slithers from the core up to the sea, takes some, and leaves.

Rough beast. Imagine a being that was part silcon based part carbon. No need fo AI. You will have an organism that is the internet. An organism that holds the worlds information. There is the Anti-Christ.

You say silicon-based life form on Titan would be near its core. But life needs a liquid to develop, and Titan's methane lakes and rivers are on its surface, I doubt any liquid could be around its core.

Us: wait how can that exist?
Aliens: wait how can that exist
Scientists: lightsabers can't exist
The Hacksmith: oh really?
Conspiracy theorists: alien are real
The Pentagon: possibly

This explains why we praise saturn so much and why probes that we've sent to saturns moons have been destroyed. There is life there. It even interacts with us here on earth.

Prepare the Primordial Soup by conducting a Miller-Urey experiment using Silicon, Methane, Nitrogen, Oxygen, high heat with an electric spark, and let's see what happens.

I knew it! I specifically searched for this. All my life I have wondered what if life can form from another key element? I do believe we are on the right track.

The reason why we can't find aliens cus God won't alow alien life to egsist so we may have to modify animals here on earth into alien species ourselves

What if silicon based life form in Venus? Extreme heat, lot of sulfuric acid, etc. Why Venus is not the perfect candidate for silicon based life?

What about if life exists on Venus but because the atmosphere is 95 times thicker life could live its entire life in the gas and not on the surface

I had this conversation with an avid Alien believer 3 year's ago, and today iam watching a What If video about the same conversation. Awesome.

What if we stopped this foolish -alien- talk and started putting our intellects together to solve the problems that threaten our own existence?

I came here for the boob jokes, and I-m sorely disappointed. The -Earth Colliding With Uranus- video had a way better comment section.

scientist think that the only way of life is strait oxygen But who knows aliens can maybe breath on something entirely different

Looks like Melodysheep was inspired by this video about Alien based on Silicon. Because it means the same thing.

Annihilation nails this theory to a T. But not pure silicon. Rather, silicon carbonate. What a movie!
