[QUOTE="Voda Vosa, post: 6098032, member: 51271"] [sblock=debate]1-3: Not really, the problem with silicon is that it has low affinity to other chemical species as nitrogen, phosphorus and that the compounds it makes are levorotatory, while most compounds used by earth life forms are dextrorotatory. More likely as I already said, yes. But as you say in point six: "So given infinite time and infinite universe, it statically HAS to happen" so everything is possible in the realm of probabilities. Just consider that the number of combinations needed to decode a human randomly are higher that the number of atoms in the universe. We are unique in the most broad of senses. I am not complaining, I'm merely puzzled by the fact of such an unlikely phenomena, of a galaxy of humanoids. Also I'm not ignoring the other stuff, I'm not in a position to objectively say anything about it. Shayuri has a point in that, if we encounter other forms of life, based on completely different chemistry, we would hardly recognized them as living beings. They might have too brief life spans, of too long, they might move so slowly that we would not even see it. Who knows? I would agree that if we ever find intelligent life, we will find something similar to us, because that would be what we would be searching for, but that doesn't mean they will be humanoids, or have internal skeleton, or eyes, or mouth, or legs, or head... and so on.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
