The term itself is a portmanteau, combining "fertilization" with a nod to non-terrestrial origins, though its precise etymology is debated among fictional researchers. The core idea is that life's fundamental building blocks, rather than being based on carbon and water as on Earth, might utilize alternative elements or solvents.
Proponents of the concept explore scenarios where silicon might replace carbon as the backbone of organic
