What if???

Its interesting to think what would have happened if things were not the way they are presently... but were slightly twisted. Try it... results are amazing.

FOr example i stumbled upon this very interesting question and the result which i could derive was pretty intriguing. What would have happened if human life on earth was based on silicon instead of carbon. Hmmmm.... lets see.

We inhale oxygen and base of our life form being carbon, we exhale carbon dioxide as carbon that we consume as food (most of it is some or other form of glucose which is a compound of carbon hydrogen and oxygen) is combusted in our body to derive energy. Now let yourself go haywire for a moment n imagine if silicon was base of life form instead of carbon. One very interesting aspect being what you exhale. Carbon based life form will exhale carbon dioxide which fortunately is a gas but for silicon based life form... ting ting.

A silicon based life form must inhale oxygen as we do but should exhale dioxide of silicon i.e. silica which is solid. So silicon based life form will exhale out silica in form of powder of bricks of silica. Nice... imagine sand pouring out of your nose. Or better you popping out a brick of silica out of your mouth every 2 minutes. Nice na...

Then probably you can imagine your house being made out of silica bricks that you exhaled.... lol. "THis is my house... made it out of my own poop" you can say then.

The possibilities are never ending. Though it is impossible to have a life form based on carbon on mother earth... still its interesting to go haywire once in a while.

IF YOU THINK YOU CAN ADD MORE TO SUCH HAYWIRE IDEAS... PLEASE DROP IN SOME IN COMMENTS....
