The periodic table wasn't complete a few years ago, just saiyan.

what the fuck are you mongoling about you fetisish fumble fuck?

Nah man, silicon.

What it says. Are you having a tard spasm?

Do they just sit in silence for the entire car ride?

good bait, i typed out and then deleted an angry response once realising you were only pretending to be retarded

>Monsters main weakness is fire

OH, GEE, REALLY? I think literally EVERY LIVING FUCKING THING'S WEAKNESS IS FIRE. Are you telling me you're NOT allergic to fire? Show me ONE fucking living thing who's NOT negatively affected by FUCKING FIRE, YOU FUCKING MONGS.

I am not allergic to fire

If you ever undermine me in front of my friends like that again, I'll fucking kill you. Do you understand me?

What was I supposed to do? Lie to make you feel better?

>aliens are defeated by contracting a common cold

why is this a bad question

>aliens are defeated by contracting AIDS

Uh, in English, Doc?

Can someone nicely explain to me why we know there aren't anymore elements to discover?

pls no bully

>Einstein dies
>Atheists still don't believe in god
*tips fedora*

Generally speaking, an element gets its characteristics from the number of protons it has. (not counting isotopes here)

There seems to be an upper limit to the number of protons an element can have before it becomes to unstable, and decays into something else.

ah-bloo-bloo

Uhhhh, in english please?

Higher on the periodic table the less stable. Scientists have managed to create artificial elements but they all break down with in a few millionths of a second.

>Americans

jesus fucking christ

Carbon is essential for living things. For something not to be carbon-based we'd be talking Diamond creatures

Silicon life could exist

Diamond is literally carbon you tard

There could theoretically exist countless of heavier elements that are stable.

Crystalline creatures then smartass

Maybe there's something wrong with me, but i don't understand how someone can get angry because a different person is wrong.

>guy is in a bar watching news significant to the plot
>bartender turns it off
>"HEY I WAS WATCHING THAT!"

Because how the fuck would anyone possibly know the answer to that without doing a test on their biological makeup back in the lab?

Nothing in the hypothetical island of stability would be as stable as low-atomic number elements, just lasting more than fractions of second maybe

...

>Carbon is essential for living things
Are non-carbon lifeforms inconceivable?

That's cause she doesn't want to admit she enjoyed getting stuffed by alien cock

>alien dies when being sprayed on with nigger's inferior genes

Predator's spear right?

This one truly is the most evil movie sin. How the fuck would a human virus infect something that might not even have DNA?

Kill yourself

true to the book

Yeah, Silicon is a possibility but we've yet to find any Silicon based life forms in our neck of the woods yet. The only reason Silicon could work is that it sits near Carbon on the periodic table.

ah-bloo-bloo

I imagine it's germs that killed them. Germs don't need DNA to work on. They can grow in and mess up with computer chips

>very reputable scientist gets kidnapped by what he believes to be aliens
>instantly assumes aliens are real and never questions his own mental sanity

The periodic table was mapped out long before some of the elements were known. The heaver stuff near the end is man made and radioactive (decays into lighter stuff)

Pretty much as Carbon can link into countless compounds

>not getting that he was contributing to the thread theme
Retards

>scientist explains a new element by folding the periodic table

nope, you have no idea how chemistry works.

No man can guard his own subconscious.
We all want the alien D

as we understand life, pretty much

>it's okay when Shin Godzilla do it

>now fill my mouth with it

no, you haven't.

Seems plausible

>Are non-carbon lifeforms inconceivable?
Everything is an inconceivable impossibility completely ruled out by modern science until someone disproves it.

Uh, in English, Doc?

Jesus

this happens in every fucking show to some extent it's so annoying because even if they just say it was like in Gotham " there's salt on his mask" oh there's only one place in the whole of Gotham with the salt there ok mate

Pls explain this meme

>Character trys to explain time travel

>movie all but spells out that we are made of the exact dna as the aliens
try harder tho

>i got a high energy reading from over there
Am i right in thinking this is meaningless if it isnt anything spesific like heat, movement or electricity

Nothings true until proven, dork headfuck

Possible but unlikely. We've never seen it, we have no reference for it, we don't know how it would work. It is a big universe, though.

>the aliens in war of the worlds had no immune system were digested by bacteria inside and out

>no facebook, no instagram, no grindr, this guy is a ghost!

Mikuru you fucking cocktease

I blame Sherlock Holmes for this

>Alien DNA
I never understand this. How can people who know about DNA not know that aliens probably don't have DNA?

It's unlikely.
Carbon links very well and is very common.

If a planet had the potential for silicion based life I imagine at the very early stages it would just get outcompeted by carbon based life anyway.
Maybe there's a fluke planet with not enough carbon to support carbon based life, but with the other necessary attributes.

I mean to be fair, The Green River Killer, one of the highest bodycounts of an American serial killer, was literally caught this way in real life.

then what the fuck is that alien in the movie Life about?

Carbon probably?

And how do you know it's not probable? Protip: you don't know that

They probably will

how can he be carbon based when he can survive in the vacuum of space? i know its just a movie but such a thing is just retarded

>how can he be carbon based when he can survive in the vacuum of space?
That has nothing to do with his survival in space.

We even have animals(all animals we know of are carbon based) that can survive in space.

>character says some shit
>another character has to explain it to them, but it's really for the audience

How the fuck does Neo NOT know what the fuck an EMP is? He's a god damn programmer.

>whatever this is it doesn't follow any known rules of science
>this technically shouldn't even exist
>it's not even comprised of atoms

What makes you think they don't have DNA? They might not. But they got a cold. So that means they obviously do have DNA. What are you even complaining about

>character explains wormholes by drawing a line on paper, folding it in half, and poking a hole through it

>im uploading virus.exe to the alien computer

Still not getting it. How about trying it in layman's term this time doc?

Name two movies that did these

Man of Steel
Predator 2

>zoom in
>enhance
>enhance
>enhance

it was probably the common cold virus

because fuckers spread more wrong information around because of dumbfucks who think the wrong shit they're spouting out is correct.

bro cunts in korea think that a cooling fan will kill them if they leave it on over night. you dont want stupid shit like this to become mainstream knowledge

>percocious kid uses a word with more than two syllables
>everyone is stunned and silent for a few seconds

Given that we don't know of any life forms that don't have DNA we can't really say if it's possible for life to exist without it or not
