bro made the hardest carbon edit from this video 🗿

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.

Silicon based life = A.I.

First video I found to help me with my question thanks

Cool thanks for the info

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!

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?

anyone got answers? Carbon: The Element of Life Before reading the articles and watching the videos, take a look at the questions below. This will help you be ready to see and hear the key ideas when they come up. Review any readings and videos as needed. *Note the italicized terms as important science vocabulary. Video 1: Carbon: The Element of Life How many protons and how many electrons does a carbon atom have? 6 protons and 6 electrons What is nuclear fusion? Protons and neutrons smash together and fuse Elements 6 through 10 (C, N, O, F, Ne) want how many electrons in their outermost shell? 8 electrons A carbon atom that is bound to four other atoms will take what kind of shape? Why? A linear or flat shape or 3 dimensional with 4 ends What makes carbon-carbon bonds “excellent building blocks”? Graphite and diamond Video 2: Why is Carbon the Key to Life? List the five examples of structures that are based on carbon. Green, furry, small, big, weird Silicon shares a lot of similarities with carbon, including… The video mentions three “setbacks” that limit silicon’s ability to be the building blocks for life. What are these setbacks? When astrochemists measure different wavelengths of light traveling through an exoplanet’s atmosphere, what might they find? If scientists detect a lot of small molecules (like oxygen or methane) floating around in an atmosphere, what might that indicate? Article 1: Significance of Carbon Carbon’s ability to form stable bonds with many elements allows it to do what? List the four major types of carbon-based compounds AND give two examples of each. Embedded video (Article 1) In ancient times, scholars believed that everything in the universe was made up of just four elements. What are those elements? An average-size person has 16 kg of carbon inside of them. How many pounds is that? (you might need to find an online site to make the conversion) THINK Think of ways that carbon atoms can enter our bodies. List as many possibilities as you can.

Very good

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.

I appreciate to no end how you state how much is theory

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.

I see what you did with the moon @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="218">3:38</a> and I approve.

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.

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

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.

Could there be a planet with both Si and C as the buildingblocks for life?

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)

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.

I just need to know if that was a prometheus class ship from Stargate going to earth

Carbon the Harlot of the elements, good video thankyou!!!

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!

Please make a video about how you display molecules and chains. Or is this show just for the chemists?

Here from that carbon edit

Star trek covered this topic in the 60s on an episode it was interesting then too

How does ammonia or methane compare with water as a solvent (particularly in biological systems)?

Imagining metal based lifeforms be like imaging Transformers 😄😁

Star Trek TOS tackled Silicon Based Life. "PAINNNNNNNNN".

Wassup fellow high school students

Here before this gets deleted from the internet

No matter how green, how furry, how big, or how weird, you can't stop is now.... We're the renegades of the carbonic(?) age

The silicon based life is infront of us , it’s the devices

Life attacc Life Protecc but most importantly life is just SiCCCCCCCC

Silicon based consciousness: A.I. Carbon Diamond based consciousness: I. Our should I say, Human intelligence?

Carbon/melanin ❤

😊

Anyone here for Persona 6? 😅 Carbon can form bonds, damn thats clever😂

So, a silicon based life-form, presumably using oxygen, would produce sand rather than CO2 as a waste product.

Silicone based background music

UPLOADED 13 MINUTES AGO AND NOTIFICATION SQUADD AND 15 LIKER!!! EDIT- 5 COMMENTEE

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

Can I translate this video in my language

What is this "weird" creature?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="24">00:24</a> DNA isn't basically infinite It's acidically infinite

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

😊😊😊

hey why do coke floats work

Silicon-based lifeform = Kim Kardashian

I'm sorry, I will help before I go.

heck me up

Could you please re-do this excellent video without using words that are inappropriate for children? particularly the word promiscuous? Seriously? What child needs to hear that?

Promiscuous, huh?

dude, coal is NOT pure carbon

First
