Magnets, heat, idk. A crystal could grow by fusing drifting material to itself. It could grow as big as a planet ober billions of years and fire lazors. Time or size don't need to fit our human perception. Then there's physics stuff we still don't know (subatomic, dark matter, including magnetism).
It can be cristals and photons. Carbon is the basis of life because it's good for looooong molecules. But it's not like it's the only option. It may not even be the best option on planets with different temperatures or pressures.
Anyway life may not even need food or care about the passage of time.
Microwaves are ~2.4GHz, same as wifi. That is the resonant freq of water. They don't go deep, not even close to a milimeter. And it all converts to heat.
The sun is more damageing then microwaves of same power. And ionizing radiation is the really harmful one.
Japanese young adult media takes a lot of inspiration from religion, including old european one. Just how many times do you have to kill god in japanese games..
FOLLOWING THE ‘EMPEROR’S’ death and the fall of their ancient, centralised government, the insurgents had fled into the mountain massifs of the southern hemisphere, and occupied a fastness in a range of peaks, called the Whisperheads in the local language.
