another intresting fact i found was that the speed of light isnt an actual speed it is a conversion number.

if we met them in their planet it would be so alien to use that our brains would not register anything and we would over load and die .

In other words we can't give a dead organism life again because we don't understand how it had life to begin with.

Instead of saying that extraterrestrial lives at the other end of 100 billion light years of space, how about that extraterrestrial lives at the other end of 6 grams of Psilocybin.

But silicon has several drawbacks as a carbon alternative. Silicon, unlike carbon, lacks the ability to form chemical bonds with diverse types of atoms—this permits the chemical versatility necessary for metabolism. Elements creating organic functional groups with carbon include hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and metals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc. On the other hand, silicon interacts with very few other types of atoms.[3] Moreover, where it does interact with other atoms, silicon creates molecules that "are monotonous compared with the combinatorial universe of organic macromolecules."[3] This is because silicon atoms are much bigger, having a larger mass and atomic radius, and so have difficulty forming double or triple covalent bonds, which are important for a biochemical system.

Silanes, which are chemical compounds of hydrogen and silicon that are analogous to the alkane hydrocarbons, are highly reactive with water, and long-chain silanes spontaneously decompose. Molecules incorporating polymers of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms instead of direct bonds between silicon, known collectively as silicones, are much more stable. It has been suggested that silicone-based chemicals would be more stable than equivalent hydrocarbons in a sulfuric-acid-rich environment, as is found in some extraterrestrial locations.[4] Complex long-chain silicone molecules are still less stable than their carbon counterparts.

Maybe you're using the wrong scale for measurement.

Yes, psilocybin gives us access to something that is here all the time.

I only have access to inter-dimensional beings on psilocybin.

I'm sorry for your limitations.

Do you have access to them when not on psilocybin?
