Default Re: A deep thought regarding life out there

With regard to the thoughts of species living on other types of gases complex lifeforms currently live on earth 'breathing' a type of methane oxide mix, now I must admit since these things are considered plants due to the fact they rely on something called cemo-sythesis, witch instead if using light oxegen and carbon dioxide they react the methane oxides in their bodies in what appear to be modified chloropLasts the reactions is, energetic, and provides sufficient energy to produce ATP (The chemical that animals store energy in) So a methane breather is not that far out there. Hydrogen, however is a major component on most of the shugars and fossile fules, but because they requirement of oxygen to create these chemicals is needed I don't know how succesful the species would be because I know of no process in witch hydrogen can be burned without carbon to produce anything but water. For a species witch did manage to breath methane fire would be no big deal as inside their bodies reactions so strong would be going on that they would be a furnace unto themselves, personally I feel mans greatest feat was to figure out puting a magnet through a coil of wire produced an electric current, this single feat produced the culture witch exists now. How many people are reading this with a light over their computer?
