| Mar 30 at 1:21 | comment | added | Neil Iyer | @Fallenspacerock I mean the answer present says that I could use DNA, but I have kind of changed my question now if you know what I mean. | |

more specific stuff
|
| Mar 30 at 0:24 | comment | added | Neil Iyer | @Fallenspacerock It is kind of answered but I will try to narrow it down more. | |
| Mar 29 at 23:52 | comment | added | Fallenspacerock | @Neil Iyer really sad to see this question still unanswered maybe you could try narrow it down little bit more. | |
| Mar 28 at 14:27 | comment | added | Fallenspacerock | Whatever you want needs a mechanism to store information. The lack of information is due to it being so ridiculous complex that trying to figure out what could happen is impossible. | |
| Mar 28 at 14:08 | comment | added | Neil Iyer | That is what I have tried to do, but there isn't much information on these matters (and I don't really understand technical papers enough to use them here). | |
| Mar 28 at 8:30 | comment | added | Fallenspacerock | To consider a solution we should probably first consider what can dissolve in ammonia. Though i am very sure every solution is at least partially pseudo scientific. | |
| Mar 28 at 3:55 | comment | added | Neil Iyer | Nevertheless, N is still an extremely common element in the universe although it is less stable than C and O. | |
| Mar 27 at 22:55 | comment | added | Gray Sheep | Note that interstellar matter contains much lesser amount of N as C/O. That is because nitrogen has a much lesser stable nucleus (with its odd number of protons). | |

clarify

| Mar 25 at 18:39 | comment | added | Fallenspacerock | As far as i am concerned life is possible if you have a good liquid solvent. Though another matter is if carbon or silicon can form live under such conditions as really they are the only options realistically available. That is if you don't want to go down an extra speculative path. | |

potential options
|
| Mar 25 at 1:07 | comment | added | Neil Iyer | I know it's speculative and unrealistic, and I am also not expecting super specific answers. However, I'd love some analogue to use. | |
| Mar 25 at 0:39 | comment | added | Fallenspacerock | You are basically trying to do something that is highly speculative and possibly impossible. I would say that you probably won't get a very specific answer on this. Though as this is highly speculative you probably should get away with making it semi realistic. Though generally i don't think you can make DNA as we know it in this way. | |
