Over the years there have been many controversy on weather a non-carbon base life is possible or not.
What is carbon anyways? Carbon is in everything around you and even inside of you, it is the building block of life, which all living organisms are made of it. Without carbon there won't be carbohydrates. Carbohydrates stores energy that are used in living cells, therefore, without carbon all living things wouldn't be able to function because of our lack of energy. Carbon has the ability to combine itself with hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, thus giving us living organisms to live and survive in this earth. With its complex structure so far scientists have not found anything that can be compared to carbon, which means non-carbon life is impossible.
