The laws of physics never change. There is no force in the other galaxies ( I know you didn't think that, but I'm clarifying.) There could be anerobic bacteria, but since the same chemistry is UNIVERSAL, things have the same basis of life. Water is still the basis of complex life.

WATER IS SUCH AN ULTIMATE SUBSTANCE. PEOPLE, WHEN YOU TAKE CHEMISTRY, YOU UNDERSTAND HOW INCREDIBLE AND UNIQUE IT IS.

There is no substitute for water, where ever you are. If there was another substitiute that was created so easily that it could double as water, it would already have been found. Something so universal creates itself. (One of those main building blockes that DOESN'T have almost any odds at all.)

______________________________________
Universal properties that are so much better than any other substance that makes water so special:
Polarity
-Adhesion
-Cohesion
PH
-Can act as a base
-Can act as an acid
-Its own buffer solution
-Is the start of all base and acidity because of OH- and H30+
The universal solvent
Aquias by its self (water dissolved in water)
Start of a carrier for electrical current
IT'S SOLID FORM IS NOT ITS DENSEST FORM
_____________________________________
These are just off the top of my head. There are MANY more.

Water is the basis of ANY complex life, no matter where it is. That makes all the other chemicals fairly the same also. Yes, oxgen, nitrogen, carbon, and hydrogen might be altered, but all of those WILL be present and in fairly close structures, because there are only a certain amount of working with water and altering that can be done.

N2, O2, CO2, CH4, H2, C6H12O6, and NH3 can all be altered within reason, but you will find all of those in any life bigger than a few prokaryotic cells.




You have the failure of the cytokinesis (splitting of 2 cells) after binary fission (replcation) to get simple eukaryotic cells.
-Or-
You have the consumption of one prokaryotic by another to get simple eukaryotic cells.
(This starts the big stepping stones!)



We are now at least 3 billion years into the evolution process.
