| Jul 20, 2022 at 0:56 | comment | added | PM 2Ring | "my question is it possible for life to originate in the universe from sources that do not require water, oxygen and carbon as the basic building blocks" That sounds like a biology question, not an astronomy question. | |

| Jul 19, 2022 at 22:37 | comment | added | uhoh | "...but here I would like to ask something different..." so that people don't think it's a duplicate. It's always possible that it's been asked before and answered, so it might also be closed as a duplicate but we all get questions closed as duplicates once in a while. You could do a quick search of this site to see if there are any obvious answers already, and if not, go for it! | |
| Jul 19, 2022 at 22:35 | comment | added | uhoh | @Ed_Gravy two options are 1) editing or 2) asking a new question. I'm not sure you can see them yet but there are 4 votes to close, one more and then it will be closed as off-topic. Then when you edit it will trigger the question to be sent to a review queue where people will vote to reopen. It usually takes a day or two if it's going to happen. Major edits are discouraged however when answers have been posted as in this case, and especially if you've accepted the answer. It's up to you, but what I would recommend is that you ask a new question which references this one and then explains... | |

| Jul 19, 2022 at 21:19 | comment | added | uhoh | @Ed_Gravy this part of your question seems to be off-topic in Astronomy SE: "Now, my question is it possible for life to originate in the universe from sources that do not require water, oxygen and carbon as the basic building blocks?" I think if you focus on the scientific methods in use to detect life and ask simply "...are there any that do not require water, oxygen and carbon?" that certainly would be on topic, since it can be answered with facts and doesn't require answers to hypothesize. | |

| Jul 19, 2022 at 3:49 | comment | added | Ed_Gravy | @ChappoHasn'tForgottenMonica so, astronomy does not include exploring life on other planets? Moreover, how do you intend to learn if you don't start by asking hypothetical questions? Now, I know I could have asked this question on Quora, however I believe I can expect an expert answer here than there. | |

| Jul 19, 2022 at 3:08 | comment | added | Chappo Hasn't Forgotten | I’m voting to close this question because (a) it's asking about hypothetical non-carbon lifeforms (hypothetical questions are off-topic on this site) and (b) it's therefore not really about astronomy but rather chemistry or biology. | |
