[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 6255873, member: 710"] That would be an indeed very intersting thing to speculate about. Likewise - what about the early inflationary phase after the Big Bang - you mihht think the time frames don't work for "evolution", but... that might only be true for common chemical processes on earth. Maybe entire civilizations grew up in that time, and winked out when the universe got too cold - but from their perspective, when their scientists figured out that inflation of the unvierse would lead to it cooling off too much to sustain live, but even before that, their kalaubsen* will detoriate and our peloktikus-orbitals** will eat it up, so they didn't really have to worry.... That's not what I meant, however. More like "The theoretical Gold-Fusion machine will consume enough energy to depower our entire civilization for seconds, that fixes basically all our energy problems! Unfortunately, in the past 5 picosends, scientists said the technologicaly would be commerically viable within the next 5 picosends. We may have to stick to helium fission for the forseeable future, and we still haven't found a solution for the waste disposal." Yes, the Wikipedia (?) article in this regard was pretty itnersting. For example, Silicium-based life that breathes Oxygen would probably need to operate at very different temperatures then carbon-based life, since it' difficult to devise a respiratory system using is basically sand (Silicium-Oxide). This could also be another aspect of why it's difficult to detect life - it might operate on different time scales simply because the (chemical) reactions it is based on have different time frames.
