There is a mysterious carbon dioxide and peroxide in Pluto's Charon moon.

Pluto and its moon Charon are very far away from Earth. There is almost no sunlight. And the temperature on their surface is almost zero kelvin. The chemical reactions are thought to be impossible in that distant, strange world. But the signs of CO2 and peroxides show that there are some kind of chemical reactions in those distant worlds. When we think about those distant dwarf planets called "plutoids" we must realize that conditions around and on those dwarf planets are different than on Earth.

In distant worlds near the Kuiper belt, those dwarf planets can collect atmospheres around them. Most of the solar wind particles are ions and anions that the dwarf planet can trap around it. Those particles can form an ion whirl around those small objects. That ion whirl acts similar way as the ion whirl acts around black holes. It forms the ion generator that forms the magnetic field around plutoids. And even if that magnetic field is weaker than around Earth the reaction that forms a magnetic field around Quaoar forms a magnetic field around black holes.

The conditions around Pluto, Charon, and Quaoar are not similar. The reason why Quaoar has a ring system, but Pluto does not is the Charon's and Pluto'smutual gravity effect that denies ring formation. Quaoar is a lone dwarf planet and that means its clear gravity center in its environment.

The thing is that the gas layer or atmosphere around the low-gravity objects is not stable. Things like energy impulses from the Sun or outside the solar system or flyby the large asteroid or cosmic impact can strip that ion curtain from around the dwarf planet. And that's why all dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt don't have those thin atmospheres. 

Gas pressure around Pluto is <0,01 kPa, but that allows ions and anions to move freely. Ions and anions pull each other together even in low-pressure conditions. That thing can form CO2 and more complicated chemical compounds. 

The thin atmosphere that forms when those objects pull gas and ions around them remains because the solar wind will not blow those atoms and ions away.  The gas pressure is so low that it's hard to reach in the laboratory. That gas and ion layer forms a magnetic field around plutoids. And it causes things like ring systems around those objects. An example of those systems is the dwarf planet Quaoar which has a similar, but smaller ring system than Saturn. 

If those objects are closer to the Sun the solar wind blows them away. In those low-pressure conditions gas and ions are near the quantum condition. In that low-pressure condition ions and anions pull each other together. The weak sunlight gives them the energy to travel against each other. And if as an example the carbon ion faces an oxygen anion that thing can cause a chemical reaction that forms carbon dioxide. The reaction is similar to that on Earth. But some fewer ions and anions participate in it.

Silicone-based life-forms and stoned gods

Silicone-based life-forms and stoned gods

Prolog: The Crystal Skulls: are those creaturs results of some chemical experiment, where carbon is replaced by silicone?

Is the famous crystal skull what is found in the British Museum (ID Am1898C3.1) result of some kind of chemical experiment? In this theory, chemists have tried to replace the carbon from bones by silicone. This kind of thing would explain, why there is no evidence of the high-speed instruments. 

There is a strange object in the British Museum. That thing is known as the crystal skull. There is a theory, that this strange skull has been being the skull of ordinary man, and then some scientists have tested the chemical reaction, where the carbon could replace by the silicone. So is that creature result of some kind of chemical test. There is a couple of similar skulls in the world, but the crystal skull in the British Museum is the most well known of this kind of strange creature. This creature is made by mountain quartz, which is known as silicon oxide. 

There is one strange thing, and that is connected to the hypothesis and models of the silicon-based lifeforms, and what it can look like and how it could act. The silicon would oxygenize to the silicon oxide, which is normally called the quartz. This means that if we would have the human-looking silicon-based lifeforms, that creature would be stoned, and in this case, the skull of that mythic thing would turn to crystal skull. But this kind of thing is the only hypothesis about things, which have no physical evidence. 

The hypothetical silicone-based lifeforms

The thing that makes silicon-based lifeform interesting in the point of view of the SETI-program is that this lifeform could not live on Earth at all. They would be frozen immediately when they would face oxygen and the metabolism of those creatures would need extremely intense heat. 

But the thing is that if we could contact with that kind of intelligent lifeform, it can start communication and change of science and culture between our civilization and that hypothetical silicone-based civilization. Sometimes there has been introduced a silly idea that the lifeform, what might be the silicone-based could look like us, and some statues, what are looking like people could be frozen silicone-based aliens. 

That kind of things are fascinating, and of course, the art, where is the devil himself has been portrayed near the fire, and the hell is described as the hot place has caused the hypothesis, that this creature, what has the bat's wings and bad will could be a silicone-based alien. Or actually, the idea of silicone-based lifeforms has been "stolen" from the images, where the winged creature is sitting at the front of the fire. 

But as we know, the thing is that imagination is one of the best tools, what mankind has. It means the ability to think about abstract things and make those imaginations something than we ever thought before. When we are thinking about the stories of the "stoned kings and gods", we have also created the idea, that is it possible to communicate with that kind of "stoned god"? The idea is that we would connect the EEG machine to the stoned creature, and then use the computer to communicate with that thing. But we don't know, where to find those creatures, and officially there are not single silicone-based humanoids in the museums.
