Episode Synopsis

We’ve spent decades searching for life that looks like us—water-based, carbon-built, and bound to the same chemistry found on Earth. But the universe may operate on far stranger rules. In this episode, we explore the mind-bending possibilities of silicon organisms in acid clouds, hydrogen-breathing microbes in methane seas, and the surprising technosignatures that might reveal civilizations unlike anything we can imagine.If life exists out there, it may not just be different… it may be unrecognizable.#AlienLife #Astrobiology #SciencePodcast #Extraterrestrial #BeyondCarbon #SiliconLife #MethaneLife #SETI #SpaceMysteries #Cosmos #SpaceExploration #TechnosignaturesHashtags:
