You’re getting a lot of negative feedback for whatever reason, but you’re absolutely right.

I for one remember reading about possible silicon/methane based life, etc. Actually, here’s a whole wikipedia article on what you’re talking about.

Perhaps HN folks will lose your scent now and direct their snark there

But when you dig down deep on theories like that it just doesn’t make sense from a chemistry or physics standpoint. Everyone saw that Star Trek episode about silicon based life and ran with it as being possible. It’s just a show.
