    I don’t know about the end result under the same extremes. I do know that silicon life, while not impossible, it’s probably unlikely. Silicon does parallel carbon in some ways including a similar location on the periodic chart (which is why it got attention from scifi writers), but the issue is simply silicon is nowhere near as “greedy” as carbon bonds.

    But it is a big universe.
