Interesting video! Gave me the thought that carbon based life might evolve naturally and ubiquitously and then more stable silicone life could be evolved intelligently.
I wonder if its more probable to have a carbon-nitrogen system where nitrogen is more central to structures. It has one less valence but can form +5 oxidation states giving it flexibility where it loses out to carbon in other places. It would look similar in many ways to life on earth, just with more heterocyclic units and aliphatics with nitrogens substituted in. And it seems nitrogen has been suggested, but who knows. Maybe whatever life is found uses C,N,Si as main components of macromolecules but in different ratios. Maybe the difference could also lie in how much halogen/calcogen/phosphorous substitution there is too.
but the hydrogen bonding of water is needed for life. Methane and Ethane lack the hydrogen bonding capability that water has, and oxygen is generally necessary for many of the processes of life. alcohol could be possible but methanol and ethanol would be extremely unlikely replacements for water in extraterrestrial life.
Mollusc shells are made of calcium carbonate, usually as aragonite. There certainly are organisms that use silica, such as diatoms, radiolarians, sponges. But not molluscs!
Religion is but a desperate attempt to find an escape from the truly dreadful situation in which we find ourselves. Yet it's so extraordinary how finely tuned the universe has to be for life to exist. Like the way carbon is made and why there's so much of it.
Maybe a different environment would allow Silicon to be more stable? Maybe Silicon bonds are more stable at lower temperatures? Maybe such life makes unique catalysts and/or enzymes to lower activation energy to allow metabolism to occur within Silicon life, even as carbon - based life uses enzymes and step - down energy use from high - energy reactants. (Ex. ATP-> ADP-> AMP)
A most interesting and well made video, very thought provoking. With the advances in AI that are currently being made, would a truly intelligent computer perhaps count as some form of silicon 'Life' ? Perhaps it is the very definition of 'Life' that needs to be revised?
Carbon is widely used in batteries. Since every living cell needs energy, carbon allow cells to produce electricity within mitochondria. Electricity and magnetism react like music and yin yang. If Earth life started near ocean floor volcanic reaction with heat and carbon, electrostatic energy provide the power to spark life in the ocean.
That’s why u need to study science bro And such work are taken care off by scientist by different chemical analysis You can do it urself but u need to study bro you can learn from internet also or if it’s hard to understand join school where teacher wil teach u
If any non-aqueous biology is found, my money is on ammonia as the primary solvent instead of hydrocarbons. The H-bonding, polarity, and proton exchange make it a more likely candidate. Also, ammonia is a pretty common substance. And high atmospheric pressures might allow ammonia to remain liquid at temperatures warm enough for the kinetics of life to be feasible.
Ammonia is an alkaline gas that boils at -33 °C, methane boils at -151 °C. So... poorly? I guess? There is little energy around at that sort of temperature.
Both have to be chilled below their boiling points. Ammonia is a possible polar solvent, but methane fails and can only be a solvent for other hydrocarbons.
Great video. Stunning attention to detail and insights. This whole idea that life as a concept is defined by replication, binary or only multiple fission from a field (hive) perspective is self-limited ... in my humble opinion. Thanks for making this video and sharing. Excellent choice of words as to why carbon is more closely associated with self-replication.
hey reactions team. I've got a question: how come, when something is air-tight sealed, there can still come odour out of it? For example when this happens with smell-trained police dogs. Thanks, great video btw!
There is usually a small amount of particles that is on the outside when packaging the material. Some of the material is airborne even if you are very careful when bagging it and will still linger on and around the drugs.
Renegades of the Carbonic Age sounds like it would have been the greatest Blue Oyster Cult album of them all. Too bad you only came up with it now! Maybe a future Rock Band can steal that from you.
Sounds like silicon based life could exist but the planet wouldn't be covered in oxygen... I gotta do some more research, what chemical has similar effect on silicon as oxygen does on carbon? Shouldn't be that hard to figure out... if anyone knows feel free to drop some knowledge on me lol

bruh why didn't you just google them..
Silicon based life = A.I.
I don’t think AI would actually count as “alive”, at least not for awhile
Researchers are trying to build carbon based computers.
Facts, they ain’t ready for that talk my man.
Yes boss
I think silicon will be responsible for the next step in evolution.

Silicone would be more resistant to extreme temperatures 😛
Your smart
First video I found to help me with my question thanks

Methane and Ethane lack the hydrogen bonding capability that water has, and oxygen is generally necessary for many of the processes of life. alcohol could be possible but methanol and ethanol would be extremely unlikely replacements for water in extraterrestrial life.
Mollusc shells are made of calcium carbonate, usually as aragonite. There certainly are organisms that use silica, such as diatoms, radiolarians, sponges. But not molluscs!
Those shells are protective skeletal structures, not living parts that can survive alone.

Can a "truly intelligent computer" replicate itself?

If we take some amount of carbon and hydrogen how can you determine the type of compound formed by it .

How does ammonia or methane compare with water as a solvent (particularly in biological systems)?
Ammonia is an alkaline gas that boils at -33 °C, methane boils at -151 °C. So... poorly? I guess? There is little energy around at that sort of temperature.
Both have to be chilled below their boiling points. Ammonia is a possible polar solvent, but methane fails and can only be a solvent for other hydrocarbons.
Please make a video about how you display molecules and chains.
Or is this show just for the chemists?
Great idea.

Renegades of the Carbonic Age sounds like it would have been the greatest Blue Oyster Cult album of them all. Too bad you only came up with it now! Maybe a future Rock Band can steal that from you.
So, a silicon based life-form, presumably using oxygen, would produce sand rather than CO2 as a waste product.

NO Way! Carbon and Oxygen (as water) are essential to life! Silicon is the basis of rocks! "Reactions" is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
