[extropy-chat] Scientists Confront 'Weird Life' on Other Worlds

[Mike Lorrey]

All this being said, it's evident that unless a planet were liquid rock
at its surface, any exceedingly unlikely Si based life forms would
never see the light of day, or the dark of night. Nor would we
encounter such life forms face to face, or via our best robotic
technology, for the forseeable future. They would be unlikely to evolve
to sufficient complexity to attain intelligence, and even in that
event, they would be so mass dependent that they would never attain
space flight, assuming they could even conceive of it, or the concept
of radio communication.
