The idea of crystalline based life is wildly science fictioney but is it really possible. I have to say that I really don't think so. Crystals are very very stable structure. Not something that lends itself well to biological processes. Carbon based on the other hand is the exact opposite being able to generate carbon Beam Me Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507215843874160767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31959155.post-34991582903680732452013-11-30T11:12:29.204-05:002013-11-30T11:12:29.204-05:00Yeah, that is something I have also considered. Th...Yeah, that is something I have also considered. The mentality on this planet sometimes doesn't make a lot of sense. Personally, after all these years with homo-sapiens, I think I just want another type of life form. Maybe they would make a little more sense, even if I didn't understand them. And you are probably right as well. But I personally would be much more excited, (not that I kallamishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387052990728026975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31959155.post-87199606925289883002013-11-29T14:14:45.058-05:002013-11-29T14:14:45.058-05:00Oh it would, never fear, but that is why I say tha...Oh it would, never fear, but that is why I say that our cherr.....oh man I almost went there....our first planet with life has to be a carbon based one.

We HAVE to look for "...ok here are my thoughts. We HAVE to look for "second Earth" why? Because that is life as we know it. We absolutely HAVE to find a world with an O2 atmosphere and some form of carbon based life inhabiting it. Once we have that, humanity has a stepping off point.

By focusing on such, we may be passing by planets that have life, that we are being too dense to even realize it in our quest to show important we are that there is another planet like ours.
