But there is not one instance of any silicone based organic lifeform ever in our 4.5b year history.
Simple answer. Nature will not allow a silicone based lifeform to evolve.
Crazy considering how similar the 2 elements are in many ways.
Life is a fickle bitch to say the least. (Another of the possible fermi paradox great filters). Another reason why we have no friends!
Basically, we're stuck with each other! Sheesh.........
Well, SiO₂ lies on the...ground, and CO₂ floats. Try inhaling SiO₂. At least one can exhale CO₂ easily.
Why do you assume oxygen would be involved?
or that the SiO2 wouldn't be the equivalent of poop?
